Next Generation Network Infrastructure Enabling Telemonitoring Services
conference paper
In the next few decades one of the main problems to deal with in Western Europe is the aging of the population. The healthcare sector will face rising costs and increasing workload. Telemonitoring and networks of professional and voluntary health workers are promising solution directions to deal with both the cost and workload challenges. In this paper a study on telemonitoring services with a network of health workers using next generation network infrastructure is presented. Next generation network infrastructure technologies like Session Initiation Protocol and IP Multimedia Subsystem offer service enablers that help realise a telemonitoring solution that can call in a dynamic network of health workers. Content repurposing is an important component in this solution enabling the distribution of multimedia content to the large variety of devices.
