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.

Advanced Medical Electronics（AME）提议证明将加密的多摄影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，睡眠实验室可以使用当地的酒店和地区医院将其服务扩展到周围城市和农村地区。福利是通过增加的患者基础和更容易患者的患者使用来使睡眠实验室的资本较低和经常性成本。提高Internet访问速度以及数据加密的最新进展可以为隔壁房间中的患者提供多个多仪的性能。第一阶段将通过面包板系统进行加密的传输，录制和显示16个多仪表通道（包括：EEG，EOG，EMG，ECG，ECG，SPO2，胸部努力，气流，SNORE和MOTION）以及一个从远程位置到中央设施的红外图像（每15秒更新一次）。显示准确的记录和连续显示数据将证明概念的可行性。第二阶段将扩展I期设计以开发最终产品的硬件和软件。在第二阶段将包括广泛的可靠性/患者测试。 AME已安排与区域睡眠中心合作进行这项工作。拟议的商业应用程序：这种基于Internet的睡眠监控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展其客户群，并且事实证明这对患者来说更方便。
