Architecture of a Web of Things eHealth framework for the support of users with chronic diseases

This paper presents an architecture, system components, applications and interfaces of a Web of Things framework for supporting home hospitalization of users with chronic diseases. Home hospitalization intends to provide health care at same level and quality at the home of the patient same as it is provided at a hospital. After an introductory section, the document presents a global overview of the design philosophy, together with the main actors involved. Then the different layers of the system and their components are depicted. Finally, a walkthrough on the different technologies that will be used for the implementation of an instance of the described architecture is being provided. This paper builds upon known requirements for home hospitalization and serves as basis for the implementation of instances of such system.
