N2  - This paper describes an advanced care and alert
portable telemedical monitor (AMON), a wearable medical monitoring
and alert system targeting high-risk cardiac/respiratory
patients. The system includes continuous collection and evaluation
of multiple vital signs, intelligent multiparameter medical emergency
detection, and a cellular connection to a medical center.
By integrating the whole system in an unobtrusive, wrist-worn
enclosure and applying aggressive low-power design techniques,
continuous long-term monitoring can be performed without
interfering with the patients? everyday activities and without
restricting their mobility.
In the first two and a half years of this EU IST sponsored project,
the AMON consortium has designed, implemented, and tested the
described wrist-worn device, a communication link, and a comprehensive
medical center software package.
The performance of the system has been validated by a medical
study with a set of 33 subjects.
The paper describes the main concepts behind the AMON
system and presents details of the individual subsystems and
solutions as well as the results of the medical validation.
