Abstract

The present invention provides a real-time interactive information system for measurement of 12-lead electrocardiogram waveforms and report editing, comprising a server providing cross-platform web page browsing for user to input commands or to review ECG reports and to edit or to measure information from patient further, a device for supporting internet interacting protocol which is a WEB SERVICE allowing for receiving commands issued by the server of cross-platform web page browsing and giving the server the feedback of processed ECG information by assistance from the database device, and a database device allowing for accessing patient'"'"'s information to the internet interacting protocol.

Claims

1. A real-time interactive information system for measurement of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms and report editing comprising:

(a) a server providing cross-platform web page browsing for a user to input commands or to review ECG reports and to edit or to measure information from patient further;

(b) a device for supporting internet interacting protocol allowing for receiving commands issued by the server of cross-platform web page browsing and giving the server the feedback of processed ECG information by assistance from a database device;

(c) the database device allowing for accessing patient'"'"'s information to the internet interacting protocol, wherein a patient'"'"'s information of the ECG reports is transformed into an XML file which comprises the ECG information and noise is removed from a ECG signal in the XML file; and

wherein the server providing cross-platform web page browsing further comprises a function storing means of CLIENTBIN, providing function of computing a waveform height and a time period width or performing message accessing and editing through assistance of a dynamic vernier with customized scale.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the server providing cross-platform web page browsing comprises:

(a) a device of a hypertext markup language (HTML) suite to process web page creation and performance of information on the web browser; and

(b) a device of a dynamic language suite used for improving the function and convenience of dynamic web page processing.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the server providing cross-platform web page browsing is a server providing technical effects from SILVERLIGHT web.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the device for supporting internet interacting protocol uses a communication method of software from WEB SERVICE.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient'"'"'s information in the database device is accessed from hospital information system (HIS).

6. The system of claim 1, wherein an application of the database device comprises outpatient appointment or emergency on-site registration, price calculation of physician order, accessing and printing medication bags and medical charts, bed management, control of length of stay, price calculation from nursing station, hospital billing or submission of outpatient visit and hospitalization.

7. The system of claim 2, wherein the dynamic language suite is ASP.NET suite.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the device for supporting internet interacting protocol further comprises a device of wavelet transform used for removing noise from ECG signal.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the user is health care professionals who provide service for patients.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the health care professional is a physician, a nurse, a pharmacist, a medical technologist or a radiologic technologist.

11. The system of claim 5, wherein the HIS facilitates logging in, inquiring, browsing or editing patient'"'"'s information by computers in or outside hospital at any time.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the device for supporting internet interacting protocol is configured to:

(a) receive a command from the server for a request of patient'"'"'s information toward the database device;

(b) output of the patient'"'"'s information of the ECG reports and then transform the information into the XML file; and

(c) collect of an ECG report information to feedback to the server after removal of noise from the ECG signal.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the HIS facilitates editing patient'"'"'s information, wherein the editing patient'"'"'s information is to allow users for editing opinions onto the ECG reports in real-time.
