Abstract

In this paper is described an embedded system for healthcare applications, actually a monitoring device for patients requiring continuous tele-monitoring treatments. The hardware architecture of the system, based on wireless communication, is discussed and implementation details are presented. We will also be presenting experimental results proving the usefulness of embedded homecare systems in providing patients with their health status monitoring.
