The merging of Informatics, Communication Technology, and Microelectronics in the field of Biomedical Technology facilitates gradually the development of a new Hi-Tec home-care environment. The aim of the present project was the development of an integrated system, addressing crucial aspects of contemporary home - care that comprise of: First, the employment of low-cost commercially available components, supporting home-care patient's vital-signs monitoring and mechanical ventilation. Second, software means for the processing of the acquired health data and the evaluation of the treatment schemata. Finally, software tools for the planning, the documentation, and the management of the corresponding home-care case.
