We present our work in designing mobile interaction and guidance technologies for the application of remote consultation between healthcare professionals. We describe design case studies which address the needs and scenarios in this application: a hybrid and rich media tool which supports mobile one-on-one consultations; a remote guidance tool which allows an expert to remotely guide a nurse or junior clinician to perform clinical procedures; an integrated collaboration platform which supports remote consultations in a group meeting environment by enabling shared interaction with patient records and mobile interaction with large displays. These tools have been evaluated in usability studies in which the usefulness and potential value have been demonstrated. By presenting these case studies, we highlight the trend of incorporating emerging collaboration technologies and the need of integrated and multi-model interaction systems in a broader telehealth context.
