Abstract
An ageing population is now the leading concern for higher healthcare costs due to more cases of chronic illnesses. Telemedicine systems based on modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are expected to play a pivotal role in alleviating the pressure on health care services. Environmental factors have also profound impact on health condition of the patients. As a consequence monitoring of human health along with the environmental (where the patient is located) health enables the health care providers to comprehend more accurately about a patient's situation. In this paper we describe a novel integrated tele-monitoring framework (theoretical architecture) proposed to support both of the above functions simultaneously though a single framework. The proposed system also innovatively harnesses the power of emerging Smart-TV technology as a means of interaction between patient and the health care providers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first of its kind.
