Abstract :
Health monitoring is a field where one´s health condition (i.e., vital signs) is continually measured so that appropriate action(s) can be taken once an irregularity is found. However, a patient vital sings are highly individual based on various factors such as age, gender, weight, environment, daily activities, and medical conditions. Thus, a generalized mHealth solution can not satisfy the needs of all the users. In this paper, a mHealth architecture is presented which can be configured to individual user needs and demands.
