Abstract

Sutil+ is an intelligent monitoring system that is under development. The aim is to endow the system with more intelligent behaviour and to make the presentation of information to the user as flexible as possible, in space, time, and form. We present two telemonitoring solutions that enable access to information resulting from the monitoring of patients in coronary care units, independent of the location of the system user. We concentrate on aspects of data acquisition and storage and, above all, interaction with the user
