Wireless communication interface for EEG/PSG Holter monitor

Abstract

Communication interfaces for medical devices are normally wired. For long-term monitoring applications, wired devices limit patient mobility. In this paper a wireless communication interface for an EEG/PSG Holter monitor is presented. Selection of broadcasting band, communication standard, available hardware, and connection algorithm to use are discussed before making a choice. Results of experimental tests carried out on the prototype demonstrate the functionality of the implemented interface.
