International Scientific Conference Computer Science’2008 Web-based Personal Health Systems – Models and Specifics

Abstract: In modern concepts for development of Personal health systems (PHS) one of the main directions in research is the employment of mobile communications, Internet and Web technologies. On the other hand, the advances in bio-sensors technologies and applications enable continuous efficient monitoring of some physiological parameters of a patient. In this paper the general model of development of a PHS ’ architecture, consisting of three main components – Body sensor network, Patient server and Point-of-care server is described. The paper presents an overview of current stage in possible architectures for realization of PHS, discussing various models, strategies and specifics. It is focused on discussions that summarize the trends for realization of Web-based multi-tier PHS. An example for implementation of wireless intelligent bio-sensor for monitoring of heart and respiration rates is presented
