title: SCIENT--smart configurable infrastructure for next-generation telemonitoring.
abstract: The main contribution of this paper is the design and development of a middleware platform to build Next Generation Telemonitoring applications. The framework, called "SCIENT", is smart, providing adaptability to operating environments as a first class feature and is configurable, allowing it to be tailored to different medical applications. SCIENT aims to annul the repetitive work in designing Telemonitoring applications and provides a platform for rapid prototyping, considerably lowering costs. Extendibility, modularity, and evolvability are other important considerations of the design. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of SCIENT and build two applications using the framework to demonstrate the feasibility of our solution.
