Abstract

A database system, incorporating smartcard technologies, was designed to hold the personal and pacing details of pacemaker patients, who attended a clinic at the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH), Brighton, UK. Following an initial period of a 12 month clinical trial, with the database running on a standalone personal computer, the Pacemaker Patient Database has been redesigned and implemented as an intranet-based system. This paper describes the issues relating to the development of the new prototype system and identifies the design principles for intranet-based electronic health care (EHCR) record database systems.

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.
