Method and system to enhance medical signals for real-time analysis and high-resolution display

A method of compressing and storing medical data for later retrieval, comprising:

• inputting medical signals:
• extracting data from said medical signals;
• embedding said data into a data matrix;
• compressing said data matrix into a compressed-data-form;
• formatting said data matrix into a compressed-data-form into at least one autocorrelation matrix;
• determining the structural characteristics of each said autocorrelation matrix;
• filtering said compressed-data-form based on said structural characteristics to form a filtered compressed-data-form;
• saving selected data values in said filtered compressed-data-form in a computer-readable format.

A system for enhancing medical signals received from a monitoring device comprising:

• extractor for extracting data from medical signals;
• embedder for embedding said data into a data matrix;
• compressor for compressing said data matrix into a first compressed-data-form;
• formatter for formatting a portion of said first compressed-data-form into at least one autocorrelation matrix;
• means for determining the structural characteristics of each said autocorrelation matrix;
• filter for filtering said first compressed-data-form based on said structural characteristics to form a filtered first compressed-data-form;
• and
• expander for expanding selected data values in said filtered first compressed-data-form to result in enhanced data.
