A proposed information architecture for telehealth system interoperability

We propose an object-oriented information architecture for telemedicine systems that promotes secure 'plug-and-play' interaction between system components through standardized interfaces, communication protocols, messaging formats, and data definitions. In this architecture, each component functions as a black box, and components plug together in a "lego-like" fashion to achieve the desired device or system functionality.
