The Bravehealth Software Architecture for the Monitoring of Patients Affected by CVD

The Bravehealth project is a large scale Integrated Project (IP) launched in the 7th Framework Programme. Bravehealth proposes a patient-centric vision to Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) management and treatment, providing people already diagnosed as subjects at risk with a sound solution for continuous and remote monitoring and real time prevention of malignant events. Mainly, this paper describes the BVH Software Architecture. The role and the rationale behind the various system components is widely explained. The set of adopted technological solutions is presented and, finally, it is shown how the architecture succeeds in achieving a flexible, scalable and efficient system able to cope with many different medical scenarios.
