Personal eMonitors. An open e-health, real-time mobile platform for the acquisition, analysis and processing of medical data

Personal eMonitors is an open e-health, real-time mobile platform for the acquisition, analysis and processing of medical data. Its components are fully wireless and can be scaled and personalized according to patient needs. It also includes an innovative wearable sensor, connected wirelessly to a portable hub. The vital parameters collected from the patient via the devices can be monitored in real-time by the trained operators of a Health Center, while alarms can be calibrated for each individual through easily-applicable algo-rithms via the Health Centre’s web platform. This strongly innovative and highly technologically advanced project has been developed for the specific case of individuals with coronary heart disease, arrhythmia or who have undergone invasive heart surgery, but can be scaled and adapted for the remote monitoring of any disease. This paper describes the structure and the components of this platform.
