Abstract

In this paper authors present the results of development of Multiholt a new portable twenty-four hour recording diagnostic system for flight and control staff examination in process of preflight preparation, certification, and rehabilitation.
Authors present technical characteristics of hardware and functional capabilities of software. Multiholt can simultaneously measure and record parameters of breathing activity, heart functioning, pulse oximetry and blood pressure that provides data for cardiovascular system dysfunctions analysis. Also shown how the usage of multidimensional diagnosis helps to increase performance and quality of examination of flight staff. Database of multichannel twenty-four hour recording results has unique characteristics and allows storing, viewing, analyzing, postprocessing and printing recorded signals.
The main reasons to use the Multiholt in medical practice:

• multidimensional assessment of patients state is carried out using several means and methods simultaneously in one session. Such approach increases flight staff diagnosis reliability;
• small portable self-powered devices with high-quality cardiovascular monitoring (high-end class). Pilot carries all devices which dont restrict his/her motion. Long-term examination of flight staff in usual conditions also increases diagnosis performance;
• using integrated transmitter to send examination result to medical staff that allows providing remote medical service;
• noninvasive means of multidimensional diagnosis, easy and friendly to use, needs no special training for medical staff;
• flexible configuration of monitoring means in accordance with tasks of cardiovascular diagnostics. Fast and easy devices configuration helps to conduct express analysis flight and control staff in the field.

Multiholt is based on modern microprocessors with cutting-edge programming technologies that provide unique operational characteristics for high-quality cardiovascular diagnosis of flight personnel on all stages of medical examination.
