Abstract

The increasing proportion of aged people in the population of developed countries requires the provision of assistance services based on remote continuous monitoring. Wireless sensors allow regular and real-time information to be obtained concerning health parameters in a non-intrusive way. The identification of critical values for these parameters and the computing possibilities of the current mobile devices provide support for a fast intervention which can minimize risks linked to delays in medical assistance. The diversity of individual situations has guided us towards a solution based on the software product line paradigm, as multiple options can be easily incorporated to the final product implementation. This article presents the product line generic architecture and an example of application, using a wireless sensor connected to a central station by means of a smart phone, which is able to detect alarm situations
