PERSEIA: a Biomedical Wireless Sensor Network to Support Healthcare Delivery for the Elderly and Chronically Ill

This paper presents a system based on ambient intelligence (AmI) to foster home care monitoring of senior citizens and chronically ill patients. The most important fact addressed in this research is the development of non intrusive and easy to use sensing devices. According to this, medical tests do not need user collaboration to perform them, neither powering on and off the sensor, starting the measure, configuring communications, etc
