Abstract | Improving access to vital medical information by telemonitoring has been shown to improve patient health, prevent admissions and shorten hospital length of stay [1,2]. Telemonitoring systems are costly and not in widespread use. This paper investigates the feasibility of creating a low-cost, versatile telemonitoring system through the use of generic hardware, open source software (OSS) and free data brokering services, by creating a working prototype. A low-cost, user friendly, widely available system could address the barriers that prevent widespread uptake of telemonitoring in healthcare. |
