Abstract :
To address the rising costs of health care accessibility, we propose a solution that takes advantage of the ubiquity of broadband wireless coverage and wide spread usage of smart phones around the world. The solution presents a web based health monitoring system that takes advantage of mobile capability, cloud storage and high speed access. The solution enables health care providers to remotely monitor, analyze and diagnose patient´s data. This is possible thanks to the low cost ability to exchange data through the web (Cloud) with data processing servers. This paper presents a proof of concept that has been developed to monitor, record, and analyze heart rate through digital stethoscope. The design enables a physician to develop custom analysis and monitoring to collect key indicator or set alerts without a need for infrastructure implementations to store or transfer the data.
