Remote monitoring of evoked potentials.
The clinical value of evoked potential testing is now well established. The general availability of this form of testing is currently limited by cost of the equipment and availability of personnel not only to operate it but also to interpret the results. These limiting factors can be reduced by remote monitoring, a technique that utilizes a data program designed to transmit processed responses via standard telephone lines to a central location. The practicality of this method of testing and the considerations that should be given with regard to development of such a program are discussed.
