Abstract

This paper presents an ongoing prototype of a telemonitoring system, based on a BAN (Body Area Network) that is integrated by a Bluetooth (BT) pulse-oximeter, a GPS (Global Positioning System) unit and a smartphone. The smartphone is the hardware platform for running a software that manages the BT piconet formed by the sensors. Thus the smartphone forwards the data received from the sensor devices, to a central server which provides universal access to the information of the patient's location and health status through a web application.
