The objective of the DRIVEN project is to develop a unifying framework for the diagnostically-resilient communication of medical video over emerging 3.5G and 4G wireless networks that is suitable for critically-needed clinical diagnosis. The goal is to develop new and integrate state-of-the-art methods in video coding, wireless networks, and medical video quality assessment into an adaptive, automated framework. It is anticipated that the integrated system will aid in establishing mobile-health (m-health) medical video communication systems in standard clinical practice.
