A system intended to bring about innovation in remote health monitoring in terms of simplicity, economy and effectiveness in both domestic and hospital applications has been designed and prototyped. It allows real-time rescue in case of emergency without the necessity for data to be constantly monitored by a medical; the unit performing a real time diagnosing electronically. When an emergency sign is detected through the real-time diagnosing system, the system sends a warning message to persons able to arrange for his/her rescue. A GPS system also provides the patient’s coordinates. The system might be useful not only to GPs but also to sportsmen. Thanks to its characteristics it can help reduce hospitalization rates and length of stays thereby improving health costs and quality of life.

Abstract
A system intended to bring about innovation in remote health monitoring in terms of simplicity, economy and effectiveness in both domestic and hospital applications has been designed and prototyped. It allows real-time rescue in case of emergency without the necessity for data to be constantly monitored by a medical; the unit performing a real time diagnosing electronically. When an emergency sign is detected through the real-time diagnosing system, the system sends a warning message to persons able to arrange for his/her rescue. A GPS system also provides the patient’s coordinates. The system might be useful not only to GPs but also to sportsmen. Thanks to its characteristics it can help reduce hospitalization rates and length of stays thereby improving health costs and quality of life.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
