A medical wearable device has been developed within a project co-funded by the European Community (Karma2 - IST 2001-32320), whose aim is to create a network for the management of Home Care activities in brain-injured children. The device can measure the blood oxygen saturation, the heart rate, the respiration rate and the patient's quantity of movement. Measured data are stored into a Multimedia Card, and then transmitted to a PC at prescribed time intervals through Bluetooth wireless radio-communication technology. From the PC the measured data are finally transmitted through Internet to a Service Center and hence made available to all professionals involved in patients' care.
