This paper presents an implementation of a healthcare monitoring system integrated to the model of Digital TV adapted in Brazil (SBTVD), which provides the convergence among wireless sensor network, mobile devices, the World Wide Web (WEB) and embedded systems, through the connection of these devices to a central computer called healthcare gateway. This gateway manages the service requests and access via Digital TV (DTV) and mobile devices like cellular phones. Conventional sensors capture the patient's body temperature, pressure, heartbeat and room temperature which are sent to the gateway. Then a reactive software agent based on the behavior, verifies the status of the sensors and dispatch a message to a DTV and/or a cellular phone previously registered in the system via WEB interface. The impact of this new concept will be very high on the Brazilian population due to the great number of people suffering from hypertension and the high level usage of digital TV and mobile devices can help health teams in monitoring the patient.
