Practical telematics: electrocardiography applications in healthcare by using the Standard Communications Protocol

摘要

A standardized exchange of ECG data by using current informationtechnology was made possible thanks to the European projects OEDIPE(Open European Data Interchange and Processing for Electrocardiography)and SCP-ECG (Standard Communications Protocol for ComputerizedElectrocardiography). With SCP implemented in electrocardiographs and insoftware products, open networks can be built up through normaltelephone lines, cellular telephones (GSM), or even satellitetelephones. Various systems based upon the SCP technology have alreadybeen installed in different areas of health care
