We propose a general purpose home area sensor network and monitoring platform that is intended for e-Health applications, ranging from elderly monitoring to early homecoming after a hospitalization period. Our monitoring platform is multipurpose, meaning that the system is easily configurable for various user needs and is easy to set up. The system could be temporarily rented from a service company by, for example, hospitals, elderly service providers, specialized physiological rehabilitation centers, or individuals. Our system consists of a chosen set of sensors, a wireless sensor network, a home client, and a distant server. We evaluated our concept in two initial trials: one with an elderly woman living in sheltered housing, and the other with a hip surgery patient during his rehabilitation phase. The results prove the functionality of the platform. However, efficient utilization of such platforms requires further work on the actual e-Health service concepts.
我们提出了一个适用于电子健康应用的通用家庭区域传感器网络和监测平台，其应用范围涵盖从老年人监测到住院期后的早期回家康复。我们的监测平台具有多种用途，这意味着该系统可轻松针对各种用户需求进行配置，且易于设置。例如，医院、老年服务提供商、专业生理康复中心或个人可以从服务公司临时租用该系统。我们的系统由一组选定的传感器、一个无线传感器网络、一个家庭客户端和一个远程服务器组成。我们在两项初步试验中对我们的概念进行了评估：一项试验的对象是一位住在庇护所住房中的老年女性，另一项试验的对象是一名髋关节手术患者在康复阶段的情况。结果证明了该平台的功能。然而，要有效利用此类平台，还需要在实际的电子健康服务概念方面做进一步的工作。
