The main objective of this project is the deployment of an integrated system, mainly composed by the following components that are near patient : a personal network of wireless transducers (RPT) on the ill person, a network of transducers/actuators for domotics, a data multiplexing block and a personal computer (PC). 

After local signal or image processing, according to the specific monitorized feature, the salient data are transmitted via one of internet, GSM/GPRS or a telephonic line to the database server of the Regional Telemonitoring Centre. The personal network of transducers (RPT) includes a medical device for vital signs (ECG, heart rate, arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, body temperature), a movement sensor for fall detection, eventually a respiration one, all these components having radio micro-transmitters, that allows an autonomic movement of the subject. 

The proiect will also approach the situation of the mobile subject. In this case the patient will have the personal network of transducers, the data processing will be done by a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) having GPS localization, and data transmission will be obtained by using GSM / 3G module of the PDA.

Concerning the application programs, they will act and correlate on two levels: a local data processing, near the patient, as well as another one for database server. So, the general software architecture will be a client-server one, and the project will develop a so-called SOA – Service Oriented Architecture. The results of data processing will be in principal and if necessary different locally generated alarms, transmitted to the central server, to the family or specialist doctor, to the ambulance or to a hospital. Other results of locally or on server data processing will be different medical statistics, necessary for the evaluation of health status of the subject, for her/his therapeutic plan and for the healthcare entities.

The specific objective of TELEMON project is to create an integrated pilot system for real time telemonitoring “everywhere and everytime”, for subjects being in hospitals, at home, at work, on the street, etc., citizen who constitute the main beneficiary of the system. 

From the point of view of medical knowledge, TELEMON will permit the objective research (the „proves-based medicine”) af some severe (cardio-vascular) illnesses, the prevention of some ilnesses and medical accidents (the sudden death), as well as researches in geriatry. All these contributions will be possible due to the quality and experience already qcquired by the members of our multidisciplinary research team.

Besides the medical and technical objectives, TELEMON project also proposes economic objectives:
- the decreasing of budgetary and personal expenses dealing with the un-justified transport of patients to the hospital ;
- „zero costs” for the spitalization of patients who may be treated at home.
