巴基斯坦是一个发展中国家，60%以上的人口居住在农村地区，卫生保健设施不足。最近在远程医疗方面取得的进展为发展中国家发展满足农村人口需要的保健基础设施提供了重要机会。在本文中，我们讨论了我们的远程病人监护系统（RPMS），旨在提供一个具有成本效益的，但有效的医疗保健系统，居住在巴基斯坦偏远地区的患者模型。特别是，由于巴基斯坦的母亲死亡率令人震惊，我们最初选择了产前护理领域。该系统将加强现有的医疗保健基础设施。
Pakistan is a developing country with more than 60% of its population residing in rural areas with insufficient health care facilities. The recent advancements in telemedicine provide a significant opportunity to the developing countries to develop a health infrastructure that addresses the needs of the rural population. In this paper, we discuss our model of a remote patient monitoring system (RPMS) that aims to provide a cost efficient yet effective health care system to the patients residing in the remote areas of Pakistan. In particular, we have initially selected the domain of antenatal care because of an alarming mother mortality rate of Pakistan. This system will augment the existing health care infrastructure.
