heal.abstract	The continuous treatment of chronic diseases such as heart diseases, pulmonary disease and diabetes, relies on the patient's self-monitoring. The rapid advance in the development of telemedicine systems and monitoring devices during last years gave several solutions in continuous patient telemonitoring. However, in most of the cases, these systems work with only one or a few types of medical devices and, thus, the variety of diseases they can monitor is rather limited. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that medical device manufacturers usually develop their own proprietary communication protocols and data format for each device. Most of the existing telemonitoring systems support communication with limited medical device types and depend on the manufacturer of them. In this paper, we describe a modular and ambulatory telemedicine platform, the e-Vital platform, where different monitoring devices are being integrated in homecare and telemonitoring service chain, in order to increase patients' quality of life and their feeling of safety concerning their health.	en
