Abstract:
We developed the system that enables patients to be treated at home during their daily life through digital telemetry and public communication line. In this study, video conference based remote examination and wireless telemetry were integrated together to form a remote monitoring homecare system, and underwent the validation. Test ECG signals were transmitted wirelessly unhindering the person's movement in one floor of our building, and the stability was assessed. The signal were transmitted to remote host via ISDN, with the patient's voice and moving image. To control the system and manage files remotely, the interactive model was devised for this study.
