Abstract

Chronic renal patients and patients with end stage renal disease are a distinctive patient group with a serious, chronic and irreversible health condition, which is mainly treated at home. As such they are unique candidates for support via telehealth services. This paper introduces a novel monitoring system for hemodialysis patients. The leading aims of this system are the development of innovative biomedical signals management system and the implementation of integrated model medical signal projection and processing tools. The system is expected to contribute to the increase of the demand in the medical services field as well as to reduce the patient transfer abroad for recovery.
