title: [Support of prevention medicine techniques with the help of telemedical monitoring].
abstract: Prevention medicine should not be limited to regular preventive diagnosis in a prevention center. Expecially for patients with a known increased risk a mobile telemonitoring would be benefitial. This telemonitoring continuously measures certain vital parameters, detects negative changes or even acute risks with an inbuilt intelligence (smart sensor) and sends alarm messages to the prevention center. This paper presents firsts products already available on the market, analyses weaknesses and draws a scenario of a future telemedical system for preventive purposes. One focus is the development of mobile hubs, that provide the communication with the mobile sensors and that at the same time allow a tracking or positioning of the patient.
