title: Protocol based non-clinical biomedical laboratory data-collection.
abstract: In this paper we describe the design details of a system for protocol based non-clinical biomedical data-collection and reporting. This system permits the biomedical scientist to define one or more data-collection and analysis protocols dynamically into the system and then to cause these protocols to be executed on detached, mobile microprocessor-based work-stations. The system permits both keyboard and attached instrument data-collection as well as random animal assignment and study status reporting.
