NOTICE: The project has been completed. The progress of the works was as follow:

 

January - April 2010

  • Tests of the prototype of remote system for pregnant women monitoring took place in real conditions in partnership agreement with a hospital of Medical University in Katowice.
     

  • 3 more publications have been prepared and accapted to be published in proceedings of XVI Conference "Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering 2010" at Warsaw.
     

  • Conclusions have been drawn out and the Project Completion report has been prepared.

 

October - December 2009

  • A prototype of the system with qualitative analysis of CTG records have been elaborated and preeliminary tests of usefulness of the results have been made using database of archive records.

 

July - September 2009

  • The method of CTG record classification using statistical estimation of acknowledgement  the record to class of proper record.
     

  • Preparation of the prototype system for safety evaluation of electronic data transmission is continuad under supervision specialists fron National Institute of Telecomunication.
     

  • Results of the project were presented at World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, IX 2009 2009, Monachium, Niemcy.

 

April - June 2009

  • A prototype of stream database management system and simulator of data streams have been built. Using this set of equipment performace tests are being done for the server of stream database in cooperatiojn with specialists from National Institute of Telecomunication.
     

  • One new publikation and presentation have been prepared and given by youn researchers involved in the research during Conference "Biomechanika 2009" at Ustron, Poland.

 

January - March 2009

  • The structure as well as the method of stream database management have been elaborated to be used in the telemedic system of fetal monitoring.
     

  • Two new publication have been prepared i sent for print.

 

October - December 2008

  • Throughput of communication channels has been investigated (for GSM technology) between client's PDA connected to monitoring device and the sever of Surveillance Centre.
     

  • Load simulator has been prepared to emulate different number of clients simultaneously connected and changing conditions for data transmission.


     

  • Unified functional requirements have been determined for the system governing the streaming database for the telemedic monitoring system.

 

July - September 2008

  • Interferences in communication between the server of Surveillance Centre and monitoring devices coming from limitation of GSM technology have been identified.
     

  • Buffering techniques for maintaining continuity in data transmission with software control of buffor usage have been developed.


     

  • Data buffor has been implemented in Data Server and tested for different conditions of system loading (up to 4 monitoring stands).
     

  • Two more publications have been prepared.

 

April - June 2008

  • List of alerts and the platform for its share between client PDA and the Surveillance Centre have been finished allowing remote control of the monitoring equipment for pregnant women.
     

  • New graphical interface with dialog boxes has been created to anable user friendly communication, data input and display the information gathered from PDAs.


     

  • Algorithms for inteligent control of monitoring equipment from the monitoring stand have been developed allowing interactive telemonitoring.
     

  • Two new scientific papers have been prepared discussing the research work done in the project.

     

January - March 2008

  • Algorithms for quantitative analysis of CTG records sharing the tasks between client PDA computer and the main sever of the Surveillance Centre have been worked out and are ready to be tested. The share of the tasks takes into account limitations of the hardware resources of PDA computer according to resources of the server. LabView software (by National Instruments) were used to implement both algorithms together with some modules for digidal signal analysis on the PDA platform and on the server.
     

  • Functionality of the modules for automatic analysis of CTG records were tested, focusing on correctness of results as well as ability to cooperation with the other modules for data transmission and exchange with external CTG devices.
     

  • Two scientific papers  describing the work and results achieved so far have been prepared and sent for publishing.
     


October - December 2007

  • Communication software modules have been programmed using LabView to enable PDA computer transmit and exchange date with external CTG equipemnt and the Surveillance Centre server.
     

  • The functionality of the modules was tested on a single PDA to enable start the remote monitoring session, data transmission and closing the connection.
     

  • PDA software programming has started using dedicated LabView application, including programming of the modules for communication with bedside equipment and the Surveillance Centre.
     


July - September 2007

  • Protocols of CTG data transmission have been compared and a format has been chosen for data transmission in the channel Client-Surveillance Centre.
     

  • The principles worked out for the concept of the system and the analysis of transmission protocols allowed work out a protocol for the channel Client-Surveillance Centre transmitting both: CTG data and control commands.
     

  • Publications were prepared for scientific congresses and professional journals.
     


May - June 2007

  • Literature study and analysis of accessible sources of knowledge and results of own and other research.
     

  • Development of structural and functional concept of the telemedic system, analysis of transimission protocols for CTG data (used by cardiotocographs) aimed at implementation in transmission channel Client-Surveillance Centre.
