Abstract

The project Mobimed started in 1988. The purpose of the project was to develop a telemedicine system where patient information text as well as data reflecting the status of various physiological parameters could be transmitted from a mobile terminal to a resident terminal at a hospital or similar place. The information transmitted was to be so comprehensive that a physician at the hospital together with the personnel attending the patient could make a diagnosis and suggest therapy. At the hospital all transmitted data should be stored automatically. Since September 1989 a prototype system is running in Sweden with one ambulance connected to two hospitals. This system is using the Mobitex* and speech transmission system for data transmission. As a first step the project is oriented towards ECG-monitoring. Mobimed has also been developed for laptop computers using the ordinary telephone network. In this case Mobimed can be used at home or anyplace where wireless transmission is not required. 1.
