Solutions for Healthcare Monitoring Systems Architectures

The overall goal of a complex wearable healthcare monitoring system (WHMS) is to support design and development a high impact personalized ICT healthcare services based on measurements of health state acquired by sensors capturing everyday physical, cognitive and social activities of that will be fed into the risk prediction model to perform personal profiling and identify deviations from the expected baseline of each specific user groups. In this paper, a robust comparison of different solutions of architectures dedicated to Wearable Health Monitoring Systems (WHMS) based on microcontrollers and FPGAs are presented and analyzed. It is also proposed a new architecture that uses all the advantages of its components. An embedded microcontroller will facilitate the communication. An eHealth specialized platform like MySignals Hardware Development Platform V2.0 will be used for recording and analyzing the data coming from the medical biosensors. For a critical analyze of the current state of the art, a set of relevant research papers will be reviewed.
