Titel
Generic medical data persistence with the VITAL framework
Abstract
The progress of information technology has become irreplaceable in the field of medical applications in the past few years. In both the intensive clinical and home care region wireless communication between medical devices acquiring physiological parameters allows convenient monitoring of vital signs. In order to guarantee readability of patient related medical data information by several institutions in the future, standardized and efficient storing methods are indispensable. That is why a new user interface within our Vital framework was created. This interface permits real-time persistence of all the data acquired in the medical workflow. Based on our design and implementation we evaluated different file formats such as the European Data Format (EDF), the File Exchange Format (FEF) and the Standardized Communication of Information in Physician Offices and Hospitals using XML format (SCIPHOX). We will present and discuss the main results.
