The project introduces next-generation, user-friendly, cost-effective and interoperable general-interest health services by ensuring hospitals make best use of state of the art technology in communications (UMTS, Bluetooth, data privacy and secure connections) and ubiquitous medical sensors. The @HOME system is primarily addressed to European hospitals and their patients. It is envisaged as a post-stationary application, i.e. it will come into play once the patient has received hospital treatment and is recovering. During the recovery phase, the patient is often hospitalised in order to monitor critical, but often simple to measure, parameters, such as temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate etc. Another parameter which is of interest and which will be investigated is treatment compliance. The objective of the project is to equip clinics with state of the art infrastructure, which will allow for continuity in patient treatment at home and, often, a faster dispatch of patients.
