Abstract

The role of telecommunication equipment in medicine is reviewed. A system for telephone transmission of cardiac and pulmonary data is described. The system was tested by transmission of electrocardiograms and spirograms, using a digital computer for analysis. Analysis of the original medical signal was compared to the telephone transmitted and received signal. The differences were recorded and tabulated. In general, the system described was satisfactory for its intended use.
