Abstract(s)
The latest medical diagnosis devices enable the performance of e-diagnosis making the access to these services easier, faster and available in
remote areas. However this imposes new communications and data interchange
challenges. In this paper a new XML based format for storing cardiac signals
and related information is presented. The proposed structure encompasses data
acquisition devices, patient information, data description, pathological
diagnosis and waveform annotation. When compared with similar purpose
formats several advantages arise. Besides the full integrated data model it may
also be noted the available geographical references for e-diagnosis, the multi
stream data description, the ability to handle several simultaneous devices, the
possibility of independent waveform annotation and a HL7 compliant structure
for common contents. These features represent an enhanced integration with
existent systems and an improved flexibility for cardiac data representation.
