As the integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) program moves forward in resolving systems engineering design and architecture definition, critical technology “gaps” and a migration path to realizing the integration of this technology are needed to insure a smooth transition from the current legacy point to point telemetry links to a network oriented telemetry system. Specifically, identifi...

A key challenge in operating remote spacecraft is that ground operators must rely on the limited visibility available through spacecraft telemetry in order to assess spacecraft health and operational status. We describe a tool for processing spacecraft telemetry that allows ground operators to impose structure on received telemetry in order to achieve a better comprehension of system state. A k...

BACKGROUND Electrical devices generate electromagnetic fields that may interfere with pacemakers. Media players cause telemetry interference with pacemakers, but it is not known whether they cause direct interference with pacemakers. The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction between pacemakers and 3 different media players. METHODS In this prospective, randomized study, 54 pati...

PURPOSE To assess patient safety during seizures occurring on UK video telemetry units and identify factors in unit infrastructure which may improve safety with the intention of producing national guidelines. METHODS A prospective multicentre national service evaluation of the occurrence of adverse events and level of nurse attendance during seizures occurring on video telemetry units was per...

Wildlife data gathered by different monitoring techniques are often combined to estimate animal density. However, methods to check whether different types of data provide consistent information (i.e., can information from one data type be used to predict responses in the other?) before combining them are lacking. We used generalized linear models and generalized linear mixed-effects models to r...

BACKGROUND Little is known about patients admitted with chest pain to inpatient telemetry units directly from an emergency department. METHODS We analyzed data from 105 consecutive patients who presented with chest pain to an emergency department and who were hospitalized in an inpatient telemetry unit but who were at low risk for a coronary event. RESULTS Telemetry yielded no information w...

Various technologies for remote telemetry systems in rural areas has been used in the past. The use of television white spaces (TVWS) is promising to reduce the cost and complexity of future remote telemetry systems. In this paper, the most important concepts involving the technology of wireless communications and networking suitable to support remote telemetry in rural areas are briefly review...

The requirement for monitoring the physiological functions of the test subject in weightlessness simulation activities coupled with the advantages of using telemetry for such monitoring led to the development of a biotelemetry system. One valuable technique for simulation of weightlessness uses the neutral buoyancy obtained by having the subject under water, which leads to a requirement that th...

AIM The aim of the present study was to validate pacemaker telemetry as a diagnostic feature for detecting atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) during pacemaker treatment in patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS). METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with SSS and bradytachy syndrome (n = 28, 20 women), mean age 71 +/- 10.3 years, were included. The patients were treated with AAIR (n = 14) or DDDR pacing. At...

Non-intensive telemetry units are utilized for monitoring patients at risk for life-threatening dysrhythmias and sudden death. Physicians often use monitored beds for patients who might only require frequent nursing care. When 70% of the top 10 diseases admitted through the emergency department (ED) are clinically indicated for telemetry, hospitals with limited resources will be overwhelmed and...
