Telemedicine

UNET Telemetry System

  The quality of health care is determined by a properly diagnosed and appropriately prescribed treatment. It depends first of all on the qualification of a doctor and secondly on the technical and pharmacological support of treatment. In fact, highly qualified specialists, especially in the narrow fields, are unlikely ever to be in surplus. Anyway, such a specialist rarely appears to be nearby at proper time.

This situation vividly declares itself in the field of cardiovascular diseases which, according to the statistics, are the most widely-spread, often have serious consequences and, therefore, require a large number of highly qualified cardiologists for timely diagnosing and prescribing a treatment. Modern telemetry technologies allow not only to reduce the distance between patient and doctor, but also to obtain a qualified timely advice.

UNET Telemetry System includes a set of software and hardware for receiving ECG in SCP-ECG standard from the electrocardiographs UCARD 100 by wired and wireless digital communication channels, maintaining electronic database of ECG, enhanced analysis, reviewing the dynamics of a patient status on the basis of his electronic medical records, making a diagnostic decision and sending it to the transmitting electrocardiograph or by e-mail, and for a prompt voice communication between a medical advisor and medical staff on site by Voice GSM-modem integrated in UCARD 100.

UNET Telemetry System establishes cardiac care support to population on a new quality level in emergency medical services, emergency rooms of hospitals, district clinics, rural health posts, and also substantially increases the effectiveness of family practice and private health institutions.

 UNET is a state-of-the-art telemetry system comprising electrocardiographs with transceiver and
the telemetry station. The key element of the system is a multi-channel electrocardiograph UCARD 100 with integrated module for telemetric ECG data transfer (there is no need to use additional mobile phone).

Integrated module provides transmitting 12-channel ECG together with patient data:
• via cellular communication channel by GSM modem;
• via wired telephone lines;
• via network access (Internet, GPRS).

Using these innovative technologies, ECG data can be transmitted to any spot of the world directly from the electrocardiograph. UNET offers a wide range of tools for handling ECG data: registration, visualization on a display, printing and analyzing ECG directly near the patient, transmitting ECG data to the telemetry station, getting a remote professional advice and managing patient’s electronic health record. UNET enables voice communication with the doctor transmitted ECG by:
• calling to GSM modem of electrocardiograph UCARD 100 (audio headset is supplied);
• calling to a doctor’s cell phone;
• calling to a fixed phone.

Recommendations can be also sent by SMS or e-mail. Receiving, transmitting and storing ECG data are performed in accordance with the requirements of the standard EN 1064 (SCP-ECG) that ensures their
compatibility with major hospital information systems. UNET provides calculation of QRS-complex parameters and analysis of heart rhythm abnormalities, cardiac conduction, myocardial infarction and hypertrophies.
