Abstract: The present invention relates to equipment including hardware, software, and methods of use thereof for enabling medical interactions between individuals in separate locations. More specifically, the present invention relates to telemedicine components, devices, applications, and uses thereof. Embodiments of the present invention enable video, audio, textual, and graphical information to be securely exchanged between doctors and patients, as well as data files. A doctor located remotely from a patient may receive information from and control one or more medical devices located proximate to the patient using software operating on a computing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for optimizing usage of network resources in the communication network. In an embodiment, a session is initiated by a user with a plurality of media servers. The usage of the network resources is optimized by a routing server which monitors session characteristics of an on-going session, user characteristics, media server characteristics and network conditions, wherein the on-going session is hosted by a plurality of session handling media servers from the plurality of media servers in the communication network. The routing server further compares the monitored data with corresponding threshold values and identifies at least one media server which violates the pre-defined threshold. The routing server further identifies one or more alternate media servers based on the media server characteristics and transfer the connectivity of one or more users to the one or more alternate media servers without disconnecting the on-going session.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamic selection of media server in a communication network includes selecting a new media server to optimize a communication network. At least one of a user characteristic, a session characteristic, or a network condition is monitored during an ongoing communication session involving an existing media server. A need for selection of a new media server is determined based on at least one of the user characteristic, the session characteristic, or the network condition. The new media server to optimize the communication network is dynamically selected in response to the need. The dynamic selection may determine a plurality of overall network path lengths between each of a plurality of selectable media servers and a plurality of user equipment involved in the ongoing communication session.
