Recently, the need for sharing health information based on a wired or a wireless network such as remote medical services has increased. However, there are many difficulties in integrating and sharing medical information between medical institutions because system developments are conducted independently. In this study, by applying patients’ standardized vital signs and emergency medical records to the system of telemedicine, we enabled rapid treatment and sharing and reusing of patient’s information. Signals from one channel to twelve channels were acquired by connecting two electrocardiogram devices to the Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a specific small form-factor PC. Then the signals were standardized using the Medical waveform Format Encoding Rule (MFER) to measure the electrocardiogram of a patient from remote locations or while being transported. The emergency medical record’s interface was configured to easily receive the patient’s information; therefore the information and an accident body image were saved. The saved record was converted using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and was transferred to the doctor remotely through a Wibro network, which allows the doctor to treat promptly and to share the information. We measured MFER file sizes per acquiring time of the signal, MFER encoding time, and file sizes and transmission time of emergency medical records to evaluate system performance. Through the experiment, the feasibility of this system which used patients’ standardized vital signs and emergency medical records was proven.
