Sistem Pelaporan Telecardiac Monitoring Melalui Layanan Pesan Singkat (SMS)

Distance obstacle in traditional cardiac measurement and monitoring has been resolved by packet radio based telecardiac monitoring system. The purpose of this research is to improve telecardiac monitoring flexibility by appending scheduled reporting feature over Short Message Service (SMS). This research uses experimental method. System sends monitoring summary to cardiologist via cellular phone periodically. By employing this method, the medical expert is not required to stay in front of telecardiac monitoring receiver perpetually. The experiment with telecardiac reporting system has shown the transmission of monitoring summary with maximum rate of up to 60 SMS per minute. The success rate of up to 100% SMS delivery in 20 experiments indicates that the ARQ protocol on SMS works ideally in normal condition. Measurement of SMS transmission delay gives different results for every cellular operator with 2.5 seconds on average. The test results met with the requirements of the test software for reporting monitoring results with a configurable period ranging from 1 second to 40 days.
