Multi-parameter Sensing Platform in ESS-H and E-care@home

• Considering the population of ageing, health monitoring of elderly at home have the possibility for a person to keep track on his/her health status, e.g. decreased mobility in a personal environment. This also shows the potential of real-time decision support, early detection of symptoms, following of health trends and context awareness [1]. The ongoing projects Embedded Sensor for Health (ESS-H)1 and E-care@home2 are focusing on health monitoring of elderly at home. This paper presents the implementation of multi-parameter sensing on an Android platform. The objectives are, both to follow health trends and to enabling real time monitoring.
