DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF WEARABLE E-HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM WITH MEDICAL AND TACTILE SENSORS FOR REMOTE PATIENT SURVEILLANCE
ABSTRACT:
This paper presents the design and development of an e-health jacket for healthcare monitoring, the architecture of which is based on commercially available and costeffective hardware components, open-source software and a remote data repository for storage. In particular, the system utilizes a number of wearable medical sensors to measure different patient bio-signals which are all collected to a wearable microcomputer station. Medical sensor measurements are then categorized based on the criticality of the measurement and transmitted to a remote station. This long-range transmission is supported by a new network adaptive protocol designed to mainly transmit real-time medical data. In a prototype system, tests based on real-time and close to real-time transmission architectures have so far yielded favourable results in comparison to other existing protocols

- INTRODUCTION
Wearable Health Monitoring Systems (WHMS) have drawn a lot of attention during the last decade due to the recent technological advances in miniature bio-sensing devices, microelectronics, wireless communication protocols and equipment, as well as increasing healthcare costs (1).
In this study we will present a WHMS in form of a jacket which is capable of sending medical sensor measurements to the cloud and categorize the sensor data based on the criticality of the measurement. This paper describes the collection of large-scale medical (e-health) data (BigData) in realtime of sensor devices and actuators. For that purpose, WHMS are worn in patients suffering from chronic, or rare, or health problems. These data are transferred real-time through the
Internet to a Cloud Server, and are processed and analyzed in Cloud Computing (CC). International Journal of Science, Environment ISSN 2278-3687 (O)

The rest of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 presents a related work on Wearable medical systems. Section 3 presents the sensors that were used to monitor the patient’s health status. Section 4 describes the high level system architecture of the remote WHMS. Section 5 analyzes the hybrid transport protocol that is used in order to transfer wirelessly medical data to the information system. Section 6, finally concludes the paper
