A service-based platform for monitoring and diagnosis of patients with SAHS symptoms

Abstract

The Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS) is a symptomatology that affects between 2-5% of world populations. This syndrome presents serious consequences in daily life of the people that suffer it and its detection requires an analysis in a hospital with specialized professionals and medical equipment. Because of this, long waiting lists exist. In this paper a platform for remotely SAHS monitoring and diagnosis is presented, which aims to reduce waiting lists and provide an alternative to current systems of diagnosis in a more flexible way. The proposal mainly consists of a platform based on the Service Architecture Oriented (SOA) approach and a modular design has been followed in order to facilitate an incremental number of patients (scalability) and add new functionality (extensibility).
