Advanced Medical Electronics (AME) proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of sending encrypted polysomnograph signals and infrared images from a remote sleep study site to a central sleep lab. By using the Internet, a sleep lab can expand its services into surrounding cities and rural areas using local hotels and regional hospitals. Benefits are lower capital and recurring costs for the sleep lab through an increased patient base and easier patient access. Increasing Internet access speeds combined with recent advances in data encryption can provide polysomnograph performance nearly identical to that for a patient in the next room. Phase I will demonstrate with a breadboard system the encrypted transfer, recording, and display of 16 polysomnograph channels (including: EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, SPO2, chest effort, airflow, snore, and motion) and an infrared image (updated every 15 seconds) from a remote location to a central facility. Showing accurate recording and continuous display of data will prove feasibility of the concept. Phase II will extend the phase I design to develop the hardware and software of a final product. In phase II will include extensive reliability/patient testing. AME has arranged to collaborate with a regional sleep center in this effort. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The potential market for this Internet-based sleep monitoring system is very large because it will allow existing sleep labs to expand their customer base for very little additional cost and because it will prove to be more convenient for the patient.

先进医疗电子 (AME) 计划展示将加密的多导睡眠图信号和红外图像从远程睡眠研究站点发送到中央睡眠实验室的可行性。通过使用互联网，睡眠实验室可以利用当地酒店和地区医院将其服务扩展到周边城市和农村地区。好处是通过增加患者基础和更方便的患者访问来降低睡眠实验室的资本和经常性成本。不断提高的互联网接入速度与数据加密技术的最新进展相结合，可以提供与隔壁房间的患者几乎相同的多导睡眠图性能。第一阶段将使用面包板系统演示从远程位置到中央设施的 16 个多导睡眠图通道（包括：EEG、EOG、EMG、ECG、SPO2、胸力、气流、打鼾和运动）和红外图像（每 15 秒更新一次）的加密传输、记录和显示。准确记录和连续显示数据将证明该概念的可行性。第二阶段将扩展第一阶段的设计，以开发最终产品的硬件和软件。第二阶段将包括广泛的可靠性/患者测试。 AME 已安排与地区睡眠中心合作开展这项工作。拟议的商业应用：这种基于互联网的睡眠监测系统的潜在市场非常大，因为它将允许现有的睡眠实验室以很少的额外成本扩大其客户群，并且因为它将证明对患者来说更加方便。
