Chronic kidney disease is becoming an increasingly common illness.The medical background for this thesis comes from the prediction that frequent monitoring of body parameters may help prevent progression of the disease. For other chronic diseases other parameters are interesting to monitor and the need is typically dynamic. This thesis presents a solution for dynamic installation of Bluetooth low energy-enabled health care devices and automatic update of such services in the PalCom middleware. PalCom is aspiring to be a helpful tool in the pursuit of improving the quality of health care and provides functionality for taking measurements at home for remote monitoring. However, as most similar systems, PalCom only allows deployment of predefined BLE devices. The contribution of this work is a solution to install BLE-enabled health care devices in PalCom on demand, as well as a solution for automatic update of these services.
