Popis: A home electrocardiography (ECG) and blood pressure (BP) monitoring network was established in Beijing. The network consisted of three parts: (1) the home ECG and BP monitoring devices; (2) the monitoring centre at the hospital; and (3) the data communication network, for which we chose the public telephone network. The system was tested in our university hospital for two months with 30 patients and six normal volunteers. A preliminary evaluation by the users indicated that the system was acceptable in terms of its efficiency and effectiveness. This paper describes the system design, the preliminary testing procedure, and results.
