In this paper, we try and develop a 3G compatible Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) based system that can retrieve medical data from a secure server, and in turn, assist a medical practitioner to monitor and access his patients' records from his hospital and even monitor, be they, as may be, text records or medical images or ECG signals while he is on the move. Needless to say, the patients too can access their records from the luxury of their homes. © 2004 IEEE. %D 2004 %L scholars34 %J IEEE Region 10 Annual International Conference, Proceedings/TENCON %O cited By 0; Conference of IEEE TENCON 2004 - 2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference: Analog and Digital Techniques in Electrical Engineering ; Conference Date: 21 November 2004 Through 24 November 2004; Conference Code:66073
