The proposed Vital Signs remote fetching mechanism is designed following the guideline developed by Continua Health Alliance (CHA). The provided service of this remote fetching system first collects the vital information at frontend via medical devices certified by CHA, and then sends to backend server. The healthcare provider (e.g. a doctor) can therefore access the related vital information and give advice to those attended individuals. To this end, the offered functionalities consist of multi-thread socket communication, remote device login, versatile medical apparatus authentication and secured data collection/transmission, to name a few. All of the above-mentioned developed components comply with the guideline of CHA to ensure the interoperability of device connectivity. This mechanism also incorporates a combined symmetric/asymmetric encryption and authentication component, which further enhances the security of the whole system.
