Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of a prototype for remote ECG data transmission based on Internet-enabled health care services and telemedicine fundamentals. An ECG acquisition system developed by the authors is used to acquire the ECG signal in lead-II configuration from patient and store it in .lvm format in a PC interfaced to patient module through RS232. This unit (data server) on the patient side then transfers the data to a remote client (on doctor's side) using TCP/IP as network protocol on LabVIEW 8.20 environment. Using this device, a specialist doctor can telematically move to the patient site and instruct medical personnel when handling a patient. During the last years, more and more modern tools have found their ways to different tasks during the design, the realization, and data processing in the area of Internet access to the e-health services. The telemedicine system demonstrated in this work is a combined real-time and store-and-forward facility.
