Personalized building-embedded and wearable monitoring infrastructures with mediated data transfer.

This paper presents the design, prototype implementation and results of two cooperating infrastructures for a vital sign-based multimodal monitoring. The building-embedded and wearable systems provide complementary measurements in human and share a data transfer channel where possible. Managed by the common server, both systems are configurable in order to follow the subject's state and specific needs. Indoor and outdoor tests for various subjects shows significant savings (up to 80%) of communication costs and extention (up to 42%) of the wearable system autonomy.
