The key to a nationwide capability for computer analysis of medical signals: the dedicated medical signal processor

Abstract

The Medical Systems Development Laboratory has demonstrated a system of computer analysis that encourages wider use of medical signals, reduces unit costs, and alleviates the shortage of physician manpower while concurrently improving the quality of interpretations. It is adaptable to hospital wards, outpatient departments, routine physical examinations, and health screening programs. Its development anticipates the worsening shortage of professionals able to analyze medical data.
