Abstract:
In a society characterized by aging population and economical crisis
it is desirable to reduce the costs of public healthcare systems. It is increasingly
necessary to streamline the health system resources leading to the development
of new medical services such as telemedicine, monitoring of chronic patients,
personalized health services, creating new services for dependants, etc. Those
new application and services will significantly increasing the volume of health
information to manage, including data from medical and biological sensors,
contextual information, health records, reference information, etc., which in
turn requires the availability of health applications anywhere, at any time and
also access to medical information must be pervasive and mobile. In this paper
we propose one potential solution for creating those new services, especially in
outdoors environments, based on cloud computing and vital signs monitoring.
