Abstract: |
This paper presents a proposal for a MeHealth system that supports personal health coaching through mobile education and location-based service. In order to have access to location based services, smart medical instrument and telecommunications systems have been developed and integrated in an advanced platform. The smart medical instrument based on a low power mixed signal microcontroller allows diagnosing diseases in their early stages by recording and analyzing vital signals while the telecommunication system, based on wireless and internet technologies, allows the access to the MeHealth system. The MeHealth system is intended to provide more and better services, personal treatment, early diagnosis and other advanced health services resulting in a better quality of life in urban and rural locations. This paper presents a MeHealth system proposal formed by online and on the move capabilities, access to a central data base, and access to advanced tools to provide Tele-coaching and health services.
