Behind the devices is the Health@Home Exchange service and the Health@Home Alarming and Alerting application. The Exchange service provides the administrative control over the PHGs and sensor devices. It supports scaling, remote diagnostic support, and the security interface to the system. Exchange can be used via a portal or by directly integrating the APIs into a monitoring application.
The Health@Home Alarming and Alerting Application can reduce the amount of information that the healthcare professional must work with. The application provides a portal that enables alert conditions and associated actions to be defined. Alerts can be pushed into the health record system for internal processing. Alert actions can also provide direct communications to individuals.
