Mobile devices in the open and universal system for remote patient monitoring∗∗The research presented in this paper was partially supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education under AGH University of Science and Technology Grant 11.11.230.124 (statutory project). We are grateful to Robert Brzoza-Woch for his valuable help in the process of designing and creating the AGH medical pillbox device.

The article describes results of the research in the area of remote patient monitoring. We present innovative architecture of our data acquisition module as well as design decision we made during our work. The module is implemented as a mobile application executed on top of Android OS. The modular and open architecture of the application and the unified measurement processing gives opportunity for easy integration with new medical devices. The proposed installation and pairing process simplifies the configuration of the mobile application which is important in this type of systems. In addition, our solution takes part in the pilot studies and was successfully used by practitioners in the treatment process of patients with cardiovascular diseases.
