Software architecture for modern telehealth care systems

Abstract

Results of several research groups indicate that modern home telehealth care systems should support patient personalization and context awareness. To deal with accompanying increase of data amount and processing complexity, a semantic reasoning approach is proposed. However, so far there are no practical, system level software architectures proposed to address all related issues within one complete solution. We describe a developed RDF blackboard based data processing solution for smart home telecare supporting off-the-self reasoning tools and existing ontologies.
