Abstract

In this paper, an innovative solution for remote monitoring of chronic disease is presented. This solution is based on experiences achieved in two research projects: the first one (named FIDES) founded by Tuscany Region in Italy, for promoting health monitoring decentralization for chronic diseases; and a second one (named T-Seniority) founded by European Commission focusing on ICT inclusion for elderly and disabled people. The solution presented in this paper is an open and modular platform, able to operate both at home and in structured environments (i.e. pharmacies, health centers, nursery houses, etc.). Concerning the home health monitoring issue, the adoption of TV as output interface draws huge benefits in terms of usability and familiarity, increasing the healthcare inclusion. Finally, this paper also introduces a new healthcare organizational model for chronic patient assistance through a comprehensive and capillary distributed healthcare monitoring system.
