The need for high-speed communications networks that enable users to access remote resources will accelerate the development of many innovative distributed applications in the health care industry. A B-ISDN field trial network has been developed in North Carolina as a multiservice testbed for advanced applications research and development. The paper describes the research on two high-performance medical applications, the network equipment, and terminal interface adapters that have been implemented to serve those applications, and the insights that have been gained from this field trial experience.>
