– For the practitioner: Patient/Sensor Association, Monitoring,Transfer, and
patients update.
– For the patient: consultation of his various medical information.
As can be seen in Fig. 2, each time the sensor registers a new value; it sends
it to the mobile application to which it is connected. In the case of a heart
defect as shown in the following figure, notifications and alerts are sent to the
practitioners treating the patient, and a telephone call is made from the patient’s
home to the toll-free civil protection number.

4.2 Simulation and Discussion of Results
In order to test the performance of our system, and see how it will react to
changes in the number of users, simultaneous access to the server through the
use of “Threads” and the data encryption operation; we launched a simulation
with a series of tests based on the response time of the local server for requests
issued by the users, whether patients or practitioners, as this time may be a
factor in the favorable to saving a human life.
Test 1: Incrementing the number of users with the use of Threads and encryption: First, we start by testing the incrementation of the number of users with
the activation of simultaneous access to the server using “Threads”, and the
encryption and data encryption operation.
Test 2: Incrementing the number of users with the use of Threads without
encryption: Secondly, we test the incrementation of the number of users with
the activation of simultaneous access to the server using “Threads”, and by
disabling the encryption and data encryption operation.
