“…The telemonitoring instrument is modular, since it is possible to mount only the boards necessary for the specific clinical needs of each patient (in a PC-like fashion), thus allowing significant cost saving. Another interesting feature of the instrument is the ability to directly transmit all the measured or collected data, without the need of other devices (such as computers or similar devices), which, conversely, are used in many home telemonitoring applications [6][7][8][9][10]. In other telemonitoring applications a direct connection of one instrument with a remote data center was realised, but the communication was usually modem-to-modem.…”

“…A less established, but emerging telemedicine field, which is using the Internet increasingly, is that of telemonitoring of subjects located outside the health care structures. That includes both monitoring of subjects in an outdoor environment in even moving conditions (such as for sport [4] or military [5] applications) and, more frequently, monitoring of patients with chronic pathologies at their homes [6][7][8][9][10]. A specific category of disease, where home telemonitoring can be convenient, is that of chronic respiratory pathologies, such as asthma [6] or obstructive pulmonary disease [11].…”

We designed and developed a home telemonitoring instrument, and related Web application for management of clinical data. The instrument directly measures important physiological parameters (blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and respiratory parameters related to the use of pulmonary ventilators). The instrument also connects to external instruments (spirometer, capnometer, noninvasive blood pressure measuring device), thus collecting the corresponding clinical parameters. The instrument has a flexible architecture, which allows insertion of the necessary boards only, depending on the parameters that need to be measured and the external instruments to be interfaced for each patient. The measured and collected data are transmitted to a Web server, through direct connection to a local Internet POP (thanks to the TCP/IP protocol implemented at the instrument firmware level), thus avoiding long distance calls possibly occurring in traditional modem-to-modem configurations. Transmitted data are made available for consultation through a Web application from the health professionals, wherever they are (if an Internet connection is available). The advantage of using a Web application instead of a traditional one is that all installation problems are avoided, and the latest application version is immediately available for all the users. Within the Web application, the clinical data can be displayed and analyzed both in numeric and graphic format. It is also possible to mark some portions of data with proper indicators: for instance, for saturation curves all the desaturation events can be marked manually or after identification through an automatic algorithm. Furthermore, the Web application allows possible definition of a new instrument setup, which can be transmitted to the instrument thanks to the bidirectional connection with the Web server. The system is under test on fifteen patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and respiratory problems. In future, the system could also be used for telemonitoring of different categories of patients with chronic pathologies.

Abstract. By coupling the real-time communication capabilities of WebRTC and the advantages brought by the Web of Things (WoT), we introduce the design of a new flexible healthcare architecture, in order to propose divers e-health services. In this ongoing work, we mainly focus on the services related to the remote healthcare of patients and elderly persons. We illustrate the interest of our architecture through the analysis of three main use cases: a remote and continuous monitoring of elderly peoples and a remote medical examination of patients and emergency intervention in case of an accident.

Abstract-Telemedicine systems in Oman are not in wide use due to the shortage of expert people working in this field, and the misunderstanding of the capabilities of this technology in improving treatment with lower cost. The objective of this paper is to propose a telemedicine system "Digital Medical Center (DMC)" that covers all the cities of Oman with telemedicine facilities. DMC is a simple and easy-to-implement, and economically affordable alternative to the current systems; the aim is to improve the medical treatment in Oman and to put the advanced medical diagnosis in the world between the patient hands in Oman through the internet.The partners of this system connected by a Medical Treatment Network that based on the International Telecommunication Network and administrated by Digital Hospital which is an interface between all the hospitals in and outside Oman. This system is developed in client-server architecture with a powerful security features. The prototype design, requirements, description, and security of the system are discussed in this paper.
