The prevention of medical disorders significantly increases both life quality and expectancy. Continuous monitoring of biomedical parameters and/or vital signs of a patient, and easy access to medical history is thus of major importance, whilst enabling a person's normal routine. The development of remote healthcare sensors used to monitor specific conditions and with digital interface for prompt data access, arises as a valuable asset to respond to such requirements. In this paper we present a system of health data collection, transmission and storage designed for electrocardiography (ECG) and Pulse Oximetry results. Our goal is to address this challenge by creating a system for acquiring and transmitting data via Bluetooth to an Android mobile platform, which sends it to a remote server, where the data is stored in a database, and becomes available for visualization This enables any remote user to access vital data on a patient without being physically present.
