Abstract
The desire to acquire hemodynamic data from patients undergoing cardiac catheterization at LDS Hospital in the early 1960s was the motivation for the project that eventually resulted in the current HELP system. In those early days, signals were acquired, analyzed, and reported by a CDC computer. Eventually, systems were developed to gather additional clinical data and the concept of a comprehensive computerized clinical database was born. Software expansion and hardware upgrades have led to today’s HELP system.
