Abstract

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a complex cardiovascular syndrome whose management requires a complex clinical program involving the acquisition, integration and interpretation of heterogeneous biomedical data and information. Within the EU FP6 project HEARTFAID, an integrated platform of services has been developed to assist CHF stakeholders in their routine workflow and to provide an optimal management of CHF patients, by exploiting the most advanced technologies and instruments for diagnostic data processing. In this paper, we describe the platform component responsible for the acquisition and transmission of biomedical data from several medical devices and sensors.
