Standardized Data Access for Telemedicine Devices
Currently, there is a great number of telemedicine devices that can be connected to a computer in order to collect medical data of a patient, but these devices usually use proprietary protocols with a low level of interoperability. This paper proposes the use of a standardized protocol like UPnP to enhance the diffusion and utilization of a telemedicine device. This work presents an UPnP wrapper that allows announcing, discovering and managing of those telemedicine devices into an UPnP network. Additionally, the integration of this wrapper into an OSGi service platform allows the use of a telemedicine device by other services/applications that can need the medical data.
