Design of a residential gateway for tele-homecare systems

This paper proposed a novel architecture for tele-homecare system. The architecture of tele-homecare system includes four parts: wireless sensor node, residential gateway, diagnosis system and mobile SoC. Residential gateway, based on OSGi, is the hub of the tele-homecare system. It provides connectivity to the outside world of home network and deployment of medical services over wide area network to home network appliances. Vital signs sensing is achieved by wireless sensor node integrated with medical device.
