Benefits of Internet Enabled Sleep and EEG Applications :
• Expand Services. Sleep and EEG labs can expand the number of beds within existing buildings or provide monitoring from a patient's home. It also allows one sleep lab to help another sleep lab deal with shortages of sleep technicians.
• Centralized Data Storage and Retrieval. All sleep data and results can be retrieved and analyzed from any Internet ready computer.
• Real time Consultations. Allows one sleep lab to gain an expert opinion from another sleep lab.
• Quality Assurance. Provides the same quality of data, and reliability as if the subject was recorded on site.
• Cost Savings. Provides a low cost way for sleep labs to expand their services.
• Improved Access. Increases access to sleep studies.
• Home Monitoring. Monitor patients in their natural environment.
• Remote Training and Supervision. A remote specialist can educate technicians and students.
• Remote Scoring and Documentation. Sleep specialist can score tests from home.
for assessment and treatment by medical specialists and healthcare organizations.
With Genesis solution and compatible medical devices, physicians and patients can view vital physiological data streaming real time over the Internet. This will allow, for example, a critically injured patient with live threatening injures to have their signs and audio video transmitted to a medical specialist located anywhere in the world.
Using a computer with an Internet connection, a Web browser and one of the Web-enabled medical devices, physicians and patients who have registered can log onto a secure site through Genesis main Telemedicine site and send or receive physiological readings in real time. In addition, both physicians and patients can send e-mail or instant messages or review medical history. Physicians can also send medical history forms or other questionnaires to patients through the site.
Genesis Solutions are made capable through a powerful medical device engine and database called GenCare. GenCare allows all medical tests and data to be transmitted and retrieved over POTS and Internet connections. |
How to conduct a remote sleep study in real-time over the Internet:
A standard PC based polysomongraph is connected to an Internet enabled PC. The sleep subject is logged into the our web-site (www.Genesis-in.com) through a standard browser. The user than grants a Sleep Provider access to receive the sleep recordings. The Sleep Provider (i.e. sleep technician) becomes instantly notified that a sleep study is in progress and clicks a button from the web site allowing him to receive real-time transmission of all recorded signals. A standard web-cam supports high quality image and fast frame rate monitoring |
