Abstract
Constant breakthroughs in medical sensor technology
and mobile devices fields, combined with growing wireless
communication capabilities, have made possible the emergence of
new health monitoring paradigms. The ever-increasing features
of PDAs and smartphones make them a vital component in
innovative health monitoring systems. In this paper, we introduce
a handset mobile monitoring and management system, developed
as complement to a complete vital signs monitoring project
(MOHLL). The main purpose of this system is to provide
physicians with real-time visualization of the patients’ vital
parameters, namely the ECG trace, heart rate, and body
temperature, through an Internet-connected PDA.Clinical and financial support for the case-study has been provided by Grupo AMI - Assistencia Medica Integral (Casa de Saude de Guimaraes, SA), Portugal, under the partnership established between this healthcare company and the University of Minho
