Abstract—MMS is a sophisticated multimedia messaging service which can be used to send all forms of multimedia messages. MMS can also be used to stream audio and video files in mobile environment. In this paper, we propose the architecture, algorithm and mobile streaming system application to support a mobile telemedicine system using MMS technology. Streaming technique is used to enhance the capacity of the system to send large-size audio and video files using MMS. With the developed system, the doctor can perform the diagnosis without the need for staying at the hospital. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system performs better compared to the conventional MMS for streaming audio and video files.
