Abstract
Abstract—Existing processes for patients ' vital data collection require a great deal of labor work to collect, input and analyze the information. These processes are usually slow and errorprone, introducing a latency that prevents real-time data accessibility. This scenario restrains the clinical diagnostics and monitoring capabilities. We propose a solution to automate this process by using “sensors ” attached to existing medical equipments that are inter-connected to exchange service. The proposal is based on the concepts of utility computing and wireless sensor networks. The information becomes available in the “cloud ” from where it can be processed by expert systems and/or distributed to medical staff. The proof-of-concept design applies commodity computing integrated to legacy medical devices, ensuring costeffectiveness and simple integration. Keywords-utility computing, sensor networks, telemedicine, cloud computing I.
