In the telemedicine environment, the need for assistance from Plug-n-Play technologies is on the rise as patients need different medical devices and doctors lack professional skills. In general, UPnP and Jini are the 2 major types of plug and play technologies. But most medical devices do not support the protocols used by UPnP or Jini. Even if medical devices are available for plug and play, the medical devices are still subject to the Local Area Network and cannot let the remote hospitals to retrieve information fomr the medical devices. So, relevant analysis software and data transmission modules still need to be re-installed and set up. In addition, UPnP and Jini are limited by Internet protocols. Different local area networks would support different protocols. Also, the GLIF (GuideLine Interchange Format) is imposed on the technology for description of medical care guidance as a consistent process developed by InterMed and various organizations. GLIF is a basic concept for object-oriented logical models, and is described by Stange University's Ontology editor - Protege. However, all descriptions are static presentations and there is no way to form dynamic links or put them into actual practice in individual cases.
