Development of Algorithm for Automatic Channel Selection Based on Medical Telemetry Device Usage Regulations

The selection of medical telemeter channels is extremely complex, and the use of incorrect channels can result in severe accidents. Hence, we develop an algorithm for the automatic selection of appropriate medical telemeter channels based on usage regulations. The algorithm is designed to select channels by categorizing addition scenarios based on the operational environment and employing a scoring feature for optimal selection. Furthermore, the algorithm can be integrated into a web application, thus rendering it readily accessible through a browser. Verification tests simulating various operational conditions using a hospital- ward model confirmed the capability of the algorithm for appropriate channel selection with zero incorrect selections. Ultimately, this algorithm is expected to reduce human errors in channel selection and contribute significantly to the safe and efficient channel management of medical telemeters.
