A microprocessor based system for ECG telemedicine and telecare
نویسندگان
چکیده
Portable equipments for telemedical applications is one of the most innovative sectors in biomedical engineering. Health departments of governments are interested in tele diagnostic systems to avoid collapses in hospital and urgency services. In this paper, we describe a potable electrocardiograph/holter equipment with telephony and GSM transmission, using a surface mount technology with low voltage battery supply. This project has been developed in collaboration with Teleasistencia Cardiotest, S.L. This prototype is patent pending.

متن کاملTelecardiology: supporting the decision-making process in general practice.
To assess the initial phase of a telecardiology diagnostic service for general practitioners (GPs), we provided 93 GPs in 26 health centres with direct telephone access to a cardiologist, and equipped them with hand-held, automatic standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) transmitters for on-line cardiac consultations and ECG interpretation in their daily practice. Clinical details, reason for ...
متن کاملDesigning home telecare: a case study in monitoring cystic fibrosis.
The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using home telecare for monitoring cystic fibrosis (CF). Five adolescents were asked to use a home telecare system during a routine hospital visit over one week. Frequency of use was measured from computer logs. Unacceptable measurements were identified by visual inspection. User impressions of home telecare and appropriateness o...
