The TeleHomeCare project monitors home care patients via the Internet. Each patient has a personalized homepage with an electronic diary for collecting the monitoring data with HTML forms. The web pages are generated dynamically using PHP. All data are stored in a MySQL database. Data are checked immediately by the system; if a value exceeds a predefined limit an alarm message is generated and sent automatically to the patient's case manager. Weekly graphical reports (PDF format) are also generated and sent by email to the same destination.
