The paper presents some aspects of telemedical fetal monitoring where the biomedical signals are acquired remotely at patient’s home and wirelessly transmitted to the central computer through the GSM network and Internet. Signals are acquired during the monitoring sessions, and along with analysis results, they create uniform data structure describing the medical history of patient since the first monitoring to the labour. The proposed structure of database was based on the currently used in centralized monitoring systems, and extended by information essential for remote monitoring purposes. Internet-based telemedical systems allow for remote access to collected data, however, it is necessary to secure the database against unauthorized access to patient’s personal data and medical history. The proposed structure of database records allows for easy searching and viewing of patient data forms and monitoring traces. These features cause that the database constitutes valuable research material, which enables to relate parameters of particular monitoring records, acquired during pregnancy, to the real fetal outcome.
