System for remote multichannel real-time monitoring of mouse ECG via the Internet

A hardware/software system was developed to allow real-time monitoring of multiple physiological signals simultaneously via the Internet. The hardware is specifically designed for measuring ECG signals from mice, while the software system is agnostic to the underlying data source. The software utilizes a client-server model and multicasting network technology to stream real-time data from a server to clients. The server software includes an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that allows lab technicians to start and stop data collection as well as a back-end SQL database for record archiving and management. The system is intended to facilitate real-time signal processing development as well as collaborative research of archived physiological data among geographically disjoint groups. The server is therefore equipped with a digital signal processing (DSP) board for real-time data analysis and password-protected access to physiological data archives.
