Abstract

During last decade more and more old people live alone and the number of old people that need medical care is increased. The lack of doctors and the increase of the medical cost is becoming a big problem. Therefore, IT-based information systems should be implemented to help solve this problem. In this paper, we present the experimental results and evaluation of the SmartBox stimulation device for medical applications using a P2P system which is based on JXTA-Overlay. The SmartBox is integrated with our P2P system as a useful tool for monitoring and controlling patients activities. We found by experimental results that by SmartBox we can check the patient's situation. We carried out experiments with a patient in the bed and changed the temperature of the room. From the experimental results, we conclude that the use of SmartBox is an effective way for medical applications.
