Abstract :
A Web-based monitoring system for the alarm of equipment has developed for the conventional environment of Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The system communicates with equipment using data collection interface (DCI) that converts the protocol of the output of equipment from RS-232C to TCP/IP. The system creates a Web-document that can be referred from any Internet-connected personal computer in the hospital. Using the system, a staff can easily monitor the state of the patient and the equipment. If the system is installed in the ICU, monitoring and management for the equipment will be highly improved
