This paper presents a system whose purpose is
to monitor a patient continuously from indoor or outdoor
environments. The system is based on a Bluetooth PAN, carried
by the patient, whose central node, a smart phone, compiles
information about patient’s location and health status.
These data are encrypted to be sent to a server through Wifi or
GPRS/UMTS. The system provides facilities to access to patient’s
data, even from a smart phone by a J2ME application.
It also allows to configure remotely the threshold values used
to detect emergency situations.Ministerio de Eduación y Ciencia TEC2006-12211-C02-01/TCMMinisterio de Educación y Ciencia TIC2003- 07953-C02-0
