Application server for dispatching physiological signals in a hospital, in real time

摘要

An application server is provided for dispatching physiological signals in a hospital, in real time. Suitably, the hospital includes a local area network infrastructure with a virtual local area network supporting a voice over IP telephony application. The server comprises: means for receiving packets containing samples of a physiological signal via a first terminal connected to the virtual local area network, means for de-encapsulating a received packet containing samples of the physiological signal, at the real time transport protocol level, means for creating a second packet containing samples of the physiological signal, and forwarding the second packet back at least to the first terminal.
