title: ESTEEM (European Standardised Telematic Tool to Evaluate EMG Knowledge-Based Systems and Methods): AIM Project A2010.
abstract: ESTEEM is an AIM project which is primarily concerned with how to develop, integrate and clinically test knowledge-based systems for electromyography (EMG) in order to get them generally acceptable, useful and applicable into disseminated clinical routines. A medical workstation entitled the 'EMG-Platform' on which different kinds of application modules including KBSs can be interfaced to a kernel is being developed. Accordingly, an EMG communication protocol is being developed. The ESTEEM consortium is composed of a technical specialist group and a group of clinical experts in EMG from seven European countries. The last group has, besides extensive data collection for building up a multicentre EMG database, agreed on a common EMG terminology and a subsequent general EMG data set specification which covers the informatic needs for describing an EMG examination of different 'EMG schools'.
