Abstract
Hypertension is a chronic disease affecting eight out of ten over 65 years. Current medical systems focus on the monitoring of the hypertensive patient and, in some cases, on the diagnosis, making the doctor-patient communication more direct. However, these systems have a rigid structure that does not adapt neither to the patient’s real needs nor to manage key aspects such as security, scalability, integration, flexibility, interoperability or standardisation data. Our proposal aims to create an integrative architecture that solves the different weaknesses that the current systems have.
