Abstract

In this paper we analyze the problems in home healthcare communication and we propose an approach for communication between different technologies implementing a new protocol. We use XML to define the communication frames, stored data and the accessibility. We also propose the ways to access to the information from anywhere using criteria of security, accessibility and the possibility of defining models of actuation before critical situations.
