In this chapter, an integrated telemedicine platform for monitoring, in-time prognosing and diagnosing patients directly in their homes is illustrated. The use of standard protocols allows the platform to be applied to any clinical situation, requiring remote monitoring of critically-ill patients and continuous check of the health state, as well as interfacing easily with home automation and remote control devices. After a synthetic survey of the specific state of the art in telemedicine, the architecture of the proposed platform is illustrated, by highlighting its main components for domiciliary monitoring, automatic prognostics, Second Opinion e-health, and strategic hardware and software solutions. Finally, experimental results of a case study on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, highlighting the appropriate working and the capability of the platform, are illustrated. |
