Remote healthcare monitoring and on demand provision of support attracts a lot of interest due to the ability to provide assistance to elderly and patients when needed; thus on one side the hospitals demand less personnel to be engaged in monitoring patients, whereas on the other side the patient does not need to remain hospitalized unless there is need to. Wireless and wearable devices enable the constant monitoring of vital parameters; with the aid of appropriate infrastructures they can be sent to the hospital and when it is needed help can be sent at home. As the number of remotely monitored patients grows, there is a need for efficient management of emergency messages originating from portable and wearable devices as well as a demand for an efficient management scheme for mobile units, which provide help at home or transfer patients to the hospital. We present an architecture that enables provision of help at home with wearable devices and wireless transmission methods. Our approach also focuses on providing help at home in an efficient manner minimizing the service time while maintaining high availability for the high priority calls. We present an algorithm that enables the management of prioritized messages and manages the mobile units providing assistance at home in an efficient manner.
