Abstract

The E-Care@Home Project aims at providing a comprehensive IoT-based healthcare system, including state-of-the-art communication protocols and high-level analysis of data from various types of sensors. With this poster, we present its novel technical infrastructure, consisting of low-power IPv6 networking, sensors for health monitoring, and resource-efficient software, that is used to gather data from elderly patients and their surrounding environment.
