The prevention and early detection of illness symptoms is becoming more and more essentials in a world where the improvements in healthcare extends life expectancy. New technologies led to new paradigma as e-health, m-health, smart-health and pervasive health. Wearable networked devices for real-time and self-health monitoring represent an effective approach that fulfil prevention goal at the same time keeping costs under control. In this work, we present a Wearable Health Monitoring Systems (WHMS) capable of collecting, digitizing, connecting to a wearable medical device via Bluetooth, and measuring various physiological parameters of patients in particular suffering from heart disease.

Abstract
The prevention and early detection of illness symptoms is becoming more and more essentials in a world where the improvements in healthcare extends life expectancy. New technologies led to new paradigma as e-health, m-health, smart-health and pervasive health. Wearable networked devices for real-time and self-health monitoring represent an effective approach that fulfil prevention goal at the same time keeping costs under control. In this work, we present a Wearable Health Monitoring Systems (WHMS) capable of collecting, digitizing, connecting to a wearable medical device via Bluetooth, and measuring various physiological parameters of patients in particular suffering from heart disease. System's architecture, requirements, adopted technologies and implementation issues are presented and discussed, showing its effectiveness in healthcare support.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
