Abstract
Due to advances in wireless network technology, new applications are designed in medical and health care domain. Medical personnel efficiency has increased by using these new tools and applications. Patient of young and elderly people as well as smart houses equipped with sensors and information technologies are subject to discussion. Patients wear sensors to monitor vital signs reported in real-time to their doctors, which improves the quality of health care and allows them to spare money. In our work, we have developed a prototype of medical monitoring for elderly people by using several technologies such as REST, Jess rule engine and Android in order to have a flexible application in future changes.
