Electronics Nuclear engineering Telepointer is a powerful tool in the telemedicine system that enhances the effectiveness of long-distance communication. Telepointer has been tested in telemedicine, and has potential to a big influence in improving quality of health care, especially in the rural area. A telepointer system works by sending additional information in the form of gesture that can convey more accurate instruction or information. It leads to more effective communication, precise diagnosis, and better decision by means of discussion and consultation between the expert and the junior clinicians. However, there is no review paper yet on the state of the art of the telepointer in telemedicine. This paper is intended to give the readers an overview of recent advancement of telepointer technology as a support tool in telemedicine. There are four most popular modes of telepointer system, namely cursor, hand, laser and sketching pointer. The result shows that telepointer technology has a huge potential for wider acceptance in real life applications, there are needs for more improvement in the real time positioning accuracy. More results from actual test (real patient) need to be reported. We believe that by addressing these two issues, telepointer technology will be embraced widely by researchers and practitioners BioMed Central Ltd. 2013 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/6669/1/Telepointer_technology_in_telemedicine_-_a_review.pdf Rohana, Abdul Karim and Nor Farizan, Zakaria and Mohd Asyraf, Zulkifley and Mohd Marzuki, Mustafa (2013) Telepointer Technology in Telemedicine : A Review.
