A Complete Interoperable eHealth System Based on ZigBee Pro Standard

The eLife research group at University of Deusto is trying to socialize new technologies through projects focused on health. Telemedicine and eHealth systems are being used widely to improve health services or to develop value added ones. The main aim of this project is to design an eHealth system that increases life quality. It is focused on people who need daily support because of age, disability or disease. A wireless sensor network has been developed and it is integrated in a Set-Top-Box that allows controlling the network from TV. Besides, some devices have been designed so the article describes them as well as the software development.
