Abstract
In the field of human health, collecting and analyzing real-time data is crucial. Information technology (IT) has the potential to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare by enabling the service providers and their patients to access the health information. IT allows healthcare providers to collect, store, retrieve, and transfer information electronically. Patients will be able to monitor their own vital signs from their home and communicate the results to their service providers wirelessly. This makes it possible to address a problem before a patient requires acute care and maintain the quality of their life by enabling them to be close to their families and relatives. This paper presents a novel component-based monitoring system (T-HBR). T-HBR supports a multi-user environment, has a high level of security and has the potential to communicate with a remote server or service robot wirelessly. The experimental results of the system demonstrate the ease of use and high degree of reliability.
