Personalized building-embedded and wearable monitoring infrastructures with mediated data transfer

This paper presents the design, prototype implementation and results of two cooperating infrastructures for a vital sign-based multimodal monitoring. The building-embedded and wearable systems provide complementary measurements in human and share a data transfer channel where possible. Managed by the common server, both systems are configurable in order to follow the subject´s state and specific needs. Indoor and outdoor tests for various subjects shows significant savings (up to 80%) of communication costs and extention (up to 42%) of the wearable system autonomy.
