Abstract

It is common for patients who suffer from chronic health problems or are in a period of recovery to need constant monitoring of their body’s vital signs by their personal doctor. Such a situation is time-consuming and costly for both the patient and the attending physician. S2W-Med that is presented in this paper is a system for monitoring patient’s vital signs in a home environment. Its purpose is to gather the measurements from a group of medical devices so the attending physician has the results available in real time.
