M. Bajorek, Jędrzej Nowak · 2011
In the present study, a home monitoring healthcare system for elderly and chronic patients has been proposed. The system was developed for three types of users: assisted person, doctor and guardian. It analyzes the collected information (e.g. biomedical signals) and in case of detection of dangerous events informs physician and guardian. A mobile device has a key role in the system. It allows exchange and visualization of data to the users. This paper describes the design and implementation of a tablet in the home monitoring healthcare system, with specially developed data exchange protocol Additionally special security features to protect data exchange were introduced. Software part of the system was made using modern technologies such as JavaFX for central unit and Android for mobile devices.
