Abstract
This work describes the design of a new mobile health (mHealth) platform for a continuous real time remote patient monitoring named C-SMART. The platform is based on a set of sensors for patient's physiological condition assessment, a mobile phone, and a centralized healthcare utility. C-SMART is implemented on application layer and thus can be compatible to different existing telemedicine and medical data base standards in particular to IEEE 11073. A major concern in the design of the system is given to exploit existing hardware and software resources and thus reduce the platform overhead with minimal user intervention and minimal cost. Another main concern in the design is to make the platform working in a plug and play manner, but yet to give the user maximum control on the system operation. It is enabled by forming a dedicated remote control and installation center and by using an operation menu at the mobile phone. A feasibility test to the platform demonstrated human activity monitoring through a standard mobile phone and a set of accelerometers, and programming of the sensors through the mobile phone.
