..But the key to medical success appears to be educating and repeatedly training as many people as possible...

..This paper is aimed at stimulating active researchers and engineers to detect the rapid changes that we often do not observe in our daily work. The author hopes that this stimulation will lead to new ideas and combinations...

..Compared to ECG-derived methods absent pulse due to pulseless electrical activity (PEA) will be recognized as such. Tests have shown that the sensor can also be used to detect deglutition and other body motion sequences...

..One focus is the development of mobile hubs, that provide the communication with the mobile sensors and that at the same time allow a tracking or positioning of the patient...

..A combination of AED (Automatic-External-Defibrillator) and breathing machine reduces the risks of hypoxia. It can furthermore benefit from the common use of sensors and a synchronised course...

..This article summarizes the current technological developments, discusses their advantages and drawbacks, and deduces scenarios and technical requirements for future system architectures...

..The signal decays exponentially with the thickness d of the irradiated sample and its absorption coefficient alpha (I = I0 e -alpha d), where I0 is the incident light intensity...

..The signals are then transmitted to the distant end. The maximum bit rate of the 23 mm x 30 mm module is 73.5 kBit/s. At 4.7 kBit/s, the current consumption is 12 mA...

..Data conflicts resulting from the synchronization have to be solved automatically. Our project describes a solution for XML-based data replication and synchronization for mobile health applications...

..9% and a positive predictivity of 99.9% on standard ECG databases. Also, a filter-based detection of P- and T-waves was implemented, which can also be performed in real-time on a microcontroller platform...

..Routine checks can be done by telecommunication. Thus the efficiency of the system may significantly contribute to lower costs in the health care system...

..The recorded images are sent with the help of a Java program from the pocket PC over an IrDA interface to the HSCSD mobile telephone, and then to the web server, where it is saved in a digital patient record...

..In addition, company philosophy appears to differ in terms of the preferential emphasis on sensitivity or specificity. Purchasers of such devices need take these findings into consideration...

..The waveform-data can be transmitted to the microcontroller from the laptop, and the logged data is then transmitted back...

..It also has potential to simulate other physiological parameters like thorax impedance in the future...

..Current-based defibrillation provides a therapy matched to patient parameters, keeping the myocard stress as low as possible so that the heart has better chances of resuming a normal rhythm...

..Legislators are tending toward big solutions due to economic reasons. The increasing complexity of this problem can only be handled by a networked infrastructure...

..Therefore, CSR's Bluetooth protocol embedded two-processor and embedded single-processor architecture has been used...

..The technology employed in the Televiste is based on store and forward, where data is first collected and sent to the doctor at the end of a teleround session...

....

..Therefore, a complete system concept consists of an automatic fleet management (e.g. periodic device-initiated service calls) as well as customer relationship management (CRM), including technical service and a trouble-ticket system...

..The doctor examined the data transmitted by the patient and remotely consulted the patient using the Televisite. Through a simple self-explaining user interface, a smooth information transfer was guaranteed...

..To fulfill these requirements special algorithms are needed. In this article the structure of such an algorithm and also hardware implementation problems are described...

..g., for VT/VF detection algorithms). For testing the quality of waveform boundary detection, our own testing methods have been implemented in compliance with existing literature...

..The matching pursuit algorithm (MP) was implemented and further optimized since it had the best test result and had good scalability. Even under a sufficiently low runtime, it still gave good results...

..The software simultaneously checks for any limits and sends a warning message if these limits are exceeded. All received data are additionally documented...

..Due to their effective and robust learning behavior, artificial neural networks could be recommended for pattern recognition, while neuro-fuzzy systems performed best for the processing of contextual information...

..A number of necessary criteria for acupuncture point detection can be derived from the results obtained...

..The sensor described herein determines the position coordinates in a volume of 10 x 10 x 10 cm at a resolution of up to 1 mm for translations and 1 degree for rotations...
