Abstract :
This paper presents a system to monitor the vital signs of patients who receive medical treatment in homecare environments. We propose a central monitoring with which professionals will be able to manage different homecare domains with updated information. With this, when detected a worsen in patient´s health, the system will be able to send alert to caregivers or healthcare providers aiming to stabilize the frame.
