Small bits to big bites.
The Department of Clinical Neurophysiology in Uppsala, Sweden, has reached a high degree of computerization. Patient booking, administration, recording equipment, reporting, and telemedicine are linked components forming an integrated laboratory. Today's configuration is a result of the continuous development and implementation of new technologies. During the 1960s and 1970s, the focus was set on the development of signal analysis procedures. The introduction of personal computers and a local network was the main interest during the 1980s. The 1990s were devoted to the Internet and the development of Keypoint electromyography/evoked potential equipment.
