Development of an e-Health System to Detect Autonomic Neuropathy in Individuals with Diabetes

摘要

Autonomic neuropathy (AN) is a high risk complication which affects diabetic subjects. It is a collection of syndromes and diseases affecting the autonomic neurons, either parasympathetic or sympathetic or both. This may lead to abnormalities in numerous body functions. The majority of systems developed to assist in the analysis and detection of this pathology is based in desktop systems, which holds the user to a single space or a single computer. In this sense, this article presents the development of a distributed system that enables using the acquisition, analysis and classification tools to store data and results directly to a specific data server allowing data retrieve and analysis anywhere with a Internet connection.
