| Summary: | Now telemedicine is producing a great impact for health care of the patients, especially who
are located in the remote nonclinical environments. This paper presents a research work that concerns
to implement simple customized and portable emergency medical care information for Fetal Electro
Electrocardiography (FECG) monitoring system. The research work is included both the hardware and
software. The hardware part is developed for abdominal Electrocardiography (AECG) data acquisition
system. Individual algorithms and customized application software are developed using Visual Basic
for both the networking and Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) monitoring systems. The hardware data acquisition
system acquires the mother’s AECG data by using a commercial ECG frontend microchip, called
CARDIC and stores the data in a local computer terminal. The networking application program serves
the purpose to transfer the AECG data to the remote computer terminal for diagnosis purpose. The
AECG signal is processed into the remote computer terminal and finally extracts the FECG signal by
the FHR monitoring program. The networking program is developed by a client/server approach and it
can transport the AECG data file as well as online chatting facility. A specialist physician at the remote
terminal can diagnose the AECG data file and can be taken an immediate action if necessary. Proposed
system is used to study numbers of cases and satisfactory result is found compared with conventional
systems. |
