By using wearable sensors developed by H@H, patients’ physio-pathological cardiovascular and respiratory parameters are acquired and transferred to a remote server. The gathered data are continuously monitored by an automatic processing system and accessible by the medical staff, who can take action in case of necessity. The involvement of end users’ since the first stages of the project was fundamental for the definition of user requirements.The rationale was to device a flexible and efficient system, taking into consideration both medical and patients’ needs and expectations: for the physicians the telemonitoring system can not be an excessive workload with respect to their regular activities, on the other side, the impact on the patient must beminimal.For these reasons it was developed a system directly integrated with the Hospital Information System (HIS) based on Operating Protocol (OP). The OP consists of a set of actions that the patient must follow during the monitoring. The OP can be customized depending on the patient’s needs and possible disease evolution when necessary. The actions are simple tasks like taking measurements or replying to simple questions.
