The TELEMON system will include the following hardware and software components, the last ones acting as specific objectives and S/T problems of the project to be solved (the added value).
A. A local sub-system, composed by:
(1) a personal network of wireless medical sensors / transducers (RPT) for vital signs (ECG, heart rate, arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, body temperature), a movement transducer (accelerometer), a respiration one, all these having radio micro-transmitters; for monitoring of the glicemic level, a non-invasive glicometer will be acquired;
(2) a network of sensors / transducers/actuators for domotics and audio communication pacient - caregiver;
(3) a video camera;
(4) a personal computer, interfaced by radio with the above sub-systems;
(5) for mobile subject the data processingwill be done by a PDA interfaced with the personal network, and data transmission will be done by GSM/GPRS/UMTS and GPS modules of the PDA;
(6) a local network of „ad hoc” type, composed by mini computing units with radio transmission of data and necessary to cover a specific surface.
(B) A server computer for the main database and other applications programs, situated at the Regional Telemonitoring Centre (CTMR) at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy / Faculty of Medical Bioengineering in Iasi.
(C) A server computer for tele–diagnosis (on-line consultation) and tele–consulting (off-line), where a video–conference program will be installed (also useful to oranize a a webinar).
(D) Applications Programmes for :
(1) medical data acquisition and processing, domotics signals analysis, patient images, data transmission to central server;
(2) the same functions as above, but for mobile patient;
(3) interface programmee for dupplex communication between local sub-system and central server;
(4) specific alarms generating and their transmission to the Ambulance, family doctor, to the specialist or to a nurse; here there are necessary decsion aided /expert systems based on medical specific knowledge;
(5) specific applicaţii of e-rehabilitation and e-learning (at least 4);
(6) extra data processing programmes , at the central server level (medical statistics, researches, etc.)
(E) Programmes for data/knowledge bases (including user-interfaces) installed on the server.
(F) A program for the informatic management of the system, also installed on server.
