Real-Time Pervasive Monitoring System for Ambulatory Patients

摘要

Personalization is becoming an evermore present concept in healthcare. The increasing amount of information it is possible to collect from a patient allows for the development of better and more targeted clinical and therapeutic approaches. With this in mind, a novel data acquisition system is proposed, allowing to monitor patients inside and outside of hospital environment for long periods of time. It is completely generic concerning the sensors and variables it collects, and makes it possible for medical teams to monitor patients remotely and in real-time. The system was developed in collaboration with Hospital de Santa Marta - CHLN, Lisbon and there was tested on patients with cardiac pathologies.
