Development of a communication server for long-term telemonitoring of patients with COPD

Abstract

The COPD is one of the most chronic diseases in the world. To reach an integrated accommodation of these patients it is necessary to deploy a telemedicine monitoring. Basically the vital signs of the patients need to be captured with medical device technology. Then the data is send to different actors in healthcare. Data security and interfaces to different systems must be noted in this case. Within the scope of the infrastructure there is a need of a communication server which can transfer the data to different systems. The goal is that the server is developed preferably open, expandable, maintenance-friendly and economic.
