eHealth - Problem Statement

eHealth is a digital platform for monitoring specially sensitive patients

(seniors) who require personalized and direct attention. Thanks to eHealth,
vital constants can be monitored in real time and in a remote way using:
1) wireless devices (wearables) and a control station that can be
installed in any patient home, or
2) a smartphone application.

The wireless device called eWihem (Wireless Health Monitor) gathers

patient vital signs (such as, their heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar
level, temperature and other special parameters). eWihem sends data to
the control station called eWhomo (Wireless Home Monitor) or to the
Smartphone app (eWhomo App). eWhomo analyses and organizes the
information and finally it is transmitted to the eHealth Server, installed in
the corresponding health system infrastructure (healthcare facilites, such
as hospitals, health centres, etc).

Whenever one of the vital constants is outside of the established

range, eWhomo generates an alert for that patient and depending of its
relevance it will alert the emergency services automatically, so an
ambulance can be sent to the patients exact location (in the street or at
home). The alert details (timestamp, patient status, and their geographical
coordinates) will be received directly in the Smartphone of the emergency
service staff thanks to eCeas.

eHealth eWihem

eWihem is the patients personal device

that periodically monitors his vital signs.
eWihem collects data, performs some
data processing and transmits this data
for further processing. The sensors of
eWihem include a heart rate monitor, a
thermometer, a blood sugar level
monitor, etc.
When a command is issued to transmit
the vital data, eWihem processes and
summarises the collected data. The
summarised data is transmitted to
eWhomo when a request is received.
