The Development of the Vital Signs Tele-monitoring System for the Elderly by Using ‘UML’ Language and the Interoperability Standard ‘Continua’

Abstract

Aims: We aim to develope a system allowing the telemonitoring of the elderly health status. Medical telemonitoring can make life easy and safe for elderly. The goal of this project is the development of a medical telemonitoring application. Background: Medical telemonitoring can make life easy and safe for elderly. Objective: The goal of this project is the development of a medical telemonitoring application. Methods: In this paper we exposed the different steps of the developing of a medical telemonitoring system designed for the elderly. We studied the medical needs and the system specifications. We used the UML language. Then we detailed the designed system with a total respect to the standard for the interoperability of connected medical equipment, Continua. We presented printed screens of the realized interfaces. Results: We realized an application based on web development, more specifically development of a management application for medical telemonitoring. Conclusion: In terms of perspectives, we aim to integrate security protocols in the developed system, integrate the data sent from the sensors into an E, H & R (HER) and send the patient file to a H, I & S (HIS).
