Abstract
A new type of monitoring network system for perinatal care is proposed and has been developed. The patient monitoring system and data analyzing system are connected by a local area network (LAN). The doctor can retrieve past sampled data and results of data analysis, and make a detailed analysis at the same time that the patient is being monitored. The mainframe of the hospital information system (HIS) is connected with a data server in the perinatal care area via LAN. The database in perinatal care is supplied to the HIS and the doctor through this monitoring network system. If data sampled at maternity clinics or hospitals are once transmitted to the data server on LAN via the public telephone circuit, these data are available for the specialists on LAN. This function is utilized for supporting the obstetricians.
