Abstract :
A web-based ECG monitoring application in which database replication is used to provide an offline review and acquisition facility, is described. Synchronization with the server at regular intervals is automated by an ActiveX Control embedded in the web pages. Confidentiality of patient data is maintained by creating partial replicas and by one-way synchronization
