Abstract:
Continuous monitoring of individual vital parameters can provide information for the assessment of one’s health and indications of medical problems in the context of personalized medicine. Correlations between parameters and health issues are to be evaluated. As one project in this topic area, a telemedicine platform is implemented to gather data of outpatients via wearables and accumulate them for physicians and researchers to review. This work extracts requirements, draws use case scenarios, and shows the current system architecture consisting of a patient application, a physician application with a web server, and a backend server application. In further work, the prototype will assist to develop a vendor-free and open monitoring solution. A conclusion on functionality and usability will be evaluated in an imminent first study.
