Abstract
The continuous increase in the number of different devices within medical information systems produces a large amount of heterogenic clinical information which must be integrated and correctly stored in order to improve patient’s health and decrease healthcare costs. The use of the universally recognized standards of information and knowledge transmission and storage can be an excellent instrument to develop innovative eHealth solution. A EN13606 compliant telemonitoring solution is described in this paper; it is based on a collection and a semantic organization of sensor data, a standardized information transmission and storage within an internal repository during the monitoring period. This solution represents an example of care continuum concretization completely integrated with the European Health System directives.
