The design and implementation of a digitally based remote cardiac monitoring system

This paper gives an overview of the remote cardiac monitoring system developed at the University of Southern Mississippi in conjunction with NASA through the National Space Technology Laboratory. An overview of the proposed system along with details of the completed parts of the project will be discussed. The project encompasses such areas as satellite telemetry, real-time data collection and transmission, monitoring from a moving vehicle and the human interface with the system. Future goals including a medical data network are proposed.
