Development of remote diagnosis system integrating digital telemetry for medicine

We developed the system which enables a patient to be treated at home during their daily life through digital telemetry and public communication line. In this study, remote diagnosis system based on video conferencing and wireless telemetry system were integrated together to form a remote monitoring homecare system, and the overall system underwent the validation. Test ECG signals were transmitted wirelessly not hindering a patient's movement in one floor of our building, and the stability was assessed. The signals were transmitted to remote host via ISDN, with a patients voice and moving image. To control the system and manage files remotely, the interactive model was devised for this study.
