Information and Communication Technologies are playing major roles in creating Smart environments, and enhancing services in various sectors. The Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication paradigm enables devices used in all live aspects to communicate and share information with limited human intervention. In this paper we present an M2M telemedicine service to monitor Electrocardiagram (ECG) signal remotely. ECG is a physiological signal produced by electrical activity of heart; it can be recorded using electrocardiograph device and used to detect many heart problems, such as heart attacks. Data generated by ECG's device are sent over M2M platform, that is OpenMTC for further processing in devices that are on the client side.
