Abstract

In western countries, heart disease is the main cause of premature death. Most of cardiac deaths occur out of hospital. Symptoms are often interpreted incorrectly. Victims do not survive long enough to benefit from in-hospital treatments. To reduce the time before treatment, the only useful diagnostic tool to assess the presence of a cardiac event is the electrocardiogram (ECG). Event and transtelephonic ECG recorders are used to improve decision-making but require setting up new infrastructures. The Pervasive solution proposed by the European EPI-MEDICS project is an intelligent Personal ECG Monitor for the early detection of cardiac events. It includes decision-making techniques, generates different alarm levels and forwards alarm messages to the relevant care providers by means of new generation wireless communication. It is cost saving, involving care provider only if necessary without specific infrastructure. Healthcare becomes personalized, wearable, ubiquitous.
环境智能和普适系统用于监测心脏风险的公民:EPI-MEDICS项目的新解决方案
在西方国家,心脏病是导致过早死亡的主要原因。大多数心脏死亡都发生在医院外。症状常常被错误地解释。受害者存活的时间不够长,无法从住院治疗中受益。为了减少治疗前的时间,评估心脏事件存在的唯一有用的诊断工具是心电图(ECG)。事件和跨电话心电记录仪用于改善决策,但需要建立新的基础设施。欧洲EPI-MEDICS项目提出的普适解决方案是一种用于早期发现心脏事件的智能个人心电监护仪。它包括决策技术,产生不同的警报级别,并通过新一代无线通信将警报信息转发给相关的护理提供者。它节省了成本,只有在必要时才涉及护理提供者,而没有特定的基础设施。医疗保健变得个性化、可穿戴、无处不在。
