heal.abstract	e-Health has clearly started to become an important issue for implementation, operational deployment of services and a promising market for industry. The need for concentration of the information society technologies on the future so-called convergence generation has been specifically noted since FP6. The scope of this paper is to present an ambient, home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring architecture, especially targeting the elderly and chronic patients, aiming to facilitate their social inclusion (e-inclusion) by providing the means of easy follow-up from their home environment. The proposed paper presents a one-button functional, wireless monitoring system capable of acquiring 3 leads of ECG, pulse oxymetry and temperature measurements, and transmitting them over ZigBee to a computing device, which in turn is responsible for the transmission of the signal to a consultation unit. The authors envisage the development of a lightweight unobtrusive, belt-like wearable device that would enable patients to be monitored daily and at the same time allow them to perform their regular daily activities.
