Abstract

This present document presents the design of an architecture of communication oriented to medical and sports applications, in order to bring a series of information collected from a network of portable sensors arranged in the body of the person that will be able to gather vital constants of the user and then transmit them to a web service on the internet, as well as to monitor the State of health and/or the user’s physical performance.
