Abstract

An operational e-health infrastructure including pervasive services and remote distributed applications servers in the cardiology domain is presented. Based on the implementation of previously reported software components building blocks, developed in particular within the frame of European projects, the architecture promotes and facilitates the use of advanced methods of quantitative electrocardiology. The expected outcome is the improvement of the early detection of cardiac diseases, of the patients follow-up and the enhancement of the citizens quality of life.
