Medical Sensor Application Framework Based on IMS/SIP Platform

Development of miniature measuring equipment and sensors led to increasing number of applications that use them. Huge number of such applications can be found in medicine, such as distance monitoring of vital medical parameters. It is very important to provide communication without human control (machine–to-machine) and real-time medical data transfer (telemedicine). Telecommunication network can be adequate infrastructure for these applications. This paper proposes framework for sensor application development based on Internet Multimedia System (IMS) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Platform. This framework is analysed on medical observing aid prototype that uses data obtained from Bluetooth (TM) Oximeter Sensor.
