Summary
This paper presents some aspects of a on-line remote fetal monitoring system based on the GPRS packet data transmission service and WAN network. The system enables analysis, archiving and presentation of signals directly from homes of high-risk pregnancy patients. Since the transmitted signals have to be presented on-line in the surveillance center, possible problems in transmission channel were considered in details. Data stream continuity for visualization is ensured by implementation of incoming data buffer and procedures of its data read-period control.
