System description

The 3-lead ECG signal + accompanying data from the patient is transmitted via modem to the R10 computer in the processing center using a microprocessor "control panel". There, based on the data, the program suggests a diagnosis and records the data for later processing.

Recording: on equipment developed from a commercially available tape recorder, or on the R10 magnetic tape unit or minidisc

Technical characteristics
Hardware environment

R10 minicomputer, self-developed microprocessor equipment.
Recording: on equipment developed from a commercially available tape recorder, or on the R10 magnetic tape unit or minidisc

Software environment

TSM (Time Sharing Monitor) – TKI development (led by József Németh)
below: machine code and Algol programs

Use

Experimental application at the developers (TKI) and at the Institute of Continuing Medical Education (OTKI)
Sample station in Moscow at MONIKI (Moscow Regional Scientific Research Clinical Institute)

Data provider

Based on data provided by Dr. László Kobzos (Oct. 2018)
