Abstract
Information fusion helps telemonitoring systems to better unify data collected from different sensors. This paper presents last improvements made on a telemonitoring system aimed at enhancing remote healthcare for dependent people at their homes. The system is based on SYLPH, a novel platform based on a service-oriented architecture approach over a heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks infrastructure to create intelligent environments. Because of SYLPH, the system allows the interconnection of several sensor networks from different wireless technologies, such as ZigBee or Bluetooth. Furthermore, the SYLPH platform can be executed over multiple wireless devices independently of their microcontroller or the programming language they use.
