Abstract :
The aim of the study is to design a platform for tele-health monitoring system. This system will achieve the vital signs, such as blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate or blood oxygen, of patients, who need to be continuously monitored, with medical devices. This device will transmit the data to a clinical center using Internet. The data will be monitored through a web interface, necessary reports will be prepared according to the analysis of data and 3rd parties will be informed in case of emergency situations. After the development of the platform a preliminary work will be prepared in order to evaluate the system for the willingness of Turkish patients to use these kind of devices and improvement of health risk.
