5G-TOURS: Remote health monitoring and emergency situation notification

This use case addresses solutions for remote health monitoring of people, especially when already diagnosed with a critical disease still compatible with home care (e.g., some form of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc.). The main features offered by this UC involve:

1. remote health monitoring services,

2. quick, reliable notifications to nearby ambulances, medical professionals, and family members in case of a health incident or a health emergency prediction.

The use case leverages wearable devices tracking a tourist’s vital signs and having them aggregated inside an IoT-based platform named STARLIT (Solutions for digital health and wellness based on Artificial Intelligence and IoT), see Figure 28 below. STARLIT offers a dashboard for medical professionals, enabling them to monitor the vital signs and health status of several patients at a time. It also provides the option of setting up a video call with a certain patient. Alarms are raised notifying of current or potential future issues.
