Summary:
This paper describes a medical IT platform based on Wireless Sensor Networks and e-textile which supports indoor location-aware services as well as monitoring physiological parameters, such as ECG, heart rate, body temperature, etc., from a group of patients within hospital facilities. The paper presents the architecture, system deployment and validation results based on local test as well as on a pilot scheme developed with real users in collaboration with the Cardiology Unit at La Paz Hospital in Madrid (Spain).
