Abstract

The application of mobile technologies for health monitoring has garnered great attention during the last years. The sensors together with a mobile device form a personal area network that monitors the patient’s health status. It gives advice to the patient, adjusts the environmental conditions according to the patient’s needs, and in the case of an emergency, notifies the patient’s doctor or the corresponding medical center. In the current work the authors present a new attention-based architecture for health monitoring emphasizing on the identification of attention seeking and dangerous health states. The experimental results indicate that the proposed architecture responses very fast to the changes of the patient’s biosignals and accurately in decisions concerning the patient’s health status.
