title: Designing an efficient electroencephalography system using database with embedded images management approach.
abstract: Many diseases associated with mental deterioration among aged patients can be effectively treated using neurological treatments. Research shows that electroencephalography (EEG) can be used as an independent prognostic indicator of morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, EEG data are typically inaccessible to modern software. It is therefore important to design a comprehensive approach to integrate EEG results into institutional medical systems. A customized EEG system utilizing a database management approach was designed to bridge the gap between the commercial EEG software and hospital data management platforms. Practical and useful medical findings are discoursed from statistical analysis of large amounts of EEG data.
