Distributed System for Monitoring of Physiological Parameters in Web-based Personal Health Systems

Paper presents a Web-based Personal Health System (PHS) for remote monitoring of ECG signals. It presents a multi-tiered architecture for building PHS and integrating them with enterprise and health information systems. Tiers encompass Body Area Network (BAN) with medical sensors, Personal Server and/or Home gateway, Medical servers and Web Portal. A use case scenario for remote ECG monitoring is described in the paper for proving the effectiveness of the proposed architecture. The uploaded ECG data can be viewed and analyzed remotely by the specialists. The patient (at patient site) also can log in the medical portal and can upload data file with its ECG.
