Abstract

This work presents the design of a mobile gateway for independent life and e-health support. Technologies such as OSGi and Web Services have been used to deploy several services as an example, such as bio-medical parameter monitorization, alerts, and communication with a coordination center. A complete functional service which uses context-awareness has been explained and the benefits of using Service Oriented Architecture are explained. Finally, the lessons learned of this kind of development, which involves several types of systems, data, languages, and development groups, are discussed.
