Abstract :
A secure, home-to-remote database communication hierarchy using Health Level Seven (HL7) has been developed. Measurements acquired from the patient via a wireless, wearable monitoring system are inserted into a local database using LabVIEW. Periodically, the HL7 client securely updates the remote database with information from the local database. HL7 communications are performed by Interfaceware´s Chameleon software. Using Chameleon´s flexible interface, doctors and researchers may access these patient data securely, confidentially, and remotely.
