Abstract

With the Windows Phone 7 Microsoft will release a new mobile operating system this fall. By displaying ECG recordings and vital signs on this new platform it could be shown that devices with the new mobile operating system can be used as mobile monitoring units. Due to their multiple wireless communication capabilities they can be useful for the mobile transmission of physiological data to telemedicine healthcare centers or personalized health portals. The development of applications for Wndows Phone 7 is quite easy by using the popular development platform Silverlight. At this juncture the design of the graphical user interface is separated from the development of the code. By using this platform it is possible to achieve a mobile monitoring application which can be used everywhere.
