Distributed framework for tele health monitoring system

Abstract

In recent years, it has been a challenge to design and implement remote health care and monitoring services, with an objective to extend instant cost effective treatment and supply of life saving drugs. There are specialized disciplines in medical sciences for consultation, services, and surgery. Tele medicine is one such area of service through which the aged, rural residents and dwellers of remote hilly and highland areas can be benefited. Often, people in these areas suffer from disease like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), hypertension, cardiovascular problems, obesity, diabetes etc., or respiratory diseases like asthma, pulmonology related to lungs and so on with a high risk of mortality. In this paper, we propose a Petri Net based framework for analysis and integration of tele-health monitoring service systems over wireless and hybrid networks.
