Support a patent application for a medical data collection system.

Design data acquisition and processor support electronics and integrate it with a wireless messaging system.

PacInfo's Solution:

Developed a prototype for a medical data collection system that would use a 2-way pager protocol to transmit data from a patient's home to the physician's office.

A commercial bathroom scale was interfaced to the pager system using a PC and specially developed interface hardware. The bathroom scale had to be reverse-engineered to determine the characteristics of its display so that the interface could be designed.

The Motorola Create-a-Link pager system came with a software layer that had to be ported from its native

 

Windows environment to the MS-DOS environment for access to the hardware ports and for real-time program execution.
