Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) for health care allows the access of sensor data anytime, anywhere using standard protocol and Application Program Interface (API). In this paper Open Geo-Spatial Consortium (OGC) standard based remote health monitoring system is proposed that allows integration of sensor and web using standard web based interface. The aim is to provide the data in an open & interoperable manner, and reduce data redundancy. Fixed specification is used for exchange of sensor data globally for all sensor networks. OGC SWEis applicable to different sensor systems including medical sensor networks. A standard format is used to document sensor descriptions and encapsulate data. Sensor data is ported on to cloud which provides scalability, centralized user access, persistent data storage and no infrastructure maintenance cost for heavy volumes of sensitive health data. Decision tree pruning algorithm with high confidence factor is proposed for automatic decision making.
