A standard communications protocol for computerized electrocardiography.

Abstract

In an international collaborative project aimed at producing common standards for quantitative electrocardiography, a standard communications protocol (SCP-ECG) was developed for computerized electrocardiography. The protocol consisted of standards for the interchange, encoding, and storage of digital ECG data. The work was performed in three distinct, but closely related, work-packages and in close collaboration with representatives from 13 manufacturers of computerized electrocardiographs from all over the world. The objectives and results of SCP-ECG are briefly described in this paper.

Wireless connectivity for health and sports monitoring: a review.

This is a review of health and sports monitoring research that uses or could benefit from wireless connectivity. New, enabling wireless connectivity standards are evaluated for their suitability, and an assessment of current exploitation of these technologies is summarised. An example of the application is given, highlighting the capabilities of a network of wireless sensors. Issues of timing and power consumption in a battery-powered system are addressed to highlight the benefits networking can provide, and a suggestion of how monitoring different biometric signals might allow one to gain additional information about an athlete or patient is made.
