Abstract

Current advances in sensing devices and wireless technologies are providing a high opportunity for improving care quality and reducing the medical costs. This chapter presents the architecture of a mobile healthcare system and provides an overview of mobile health applications. Furthermore, it proposes a framework for patient monitoring that performs real-time stream analysis of data collected by means of non-invasive body sensors. It evaluates a patient’s health conditions by analyzing different physiological signals to identify anomalies and activate alarms in risk situations. A risk function for identifying the instantaneous risk of each physiological parameter has been defined. The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated on public physiological data and promising experimental results are presented. By understanding the challenges and the current solutions of informatics appliances described in this chapter, new research areas can be further investigated to improve mobile healthcare services and design innovative medical applications.
