5 Conclusion
In this paper, we provided a detailed study related to RHMS based on BLE
communication. We notice that several RHMS based BLE was developed and
tested for different physiological signs, accordingly, in this paper, we studied and
highlighted different mono and multi-sensing RHMS using BLE communication
interfaces for physiological signs sensing. Besides that, we overviewed BLE communication in a comprehensive way to help readers and mobile app developers to
understand the basic concepts of BLE communication. Furthermore, we detailed
the different steps required for enabling sensor-side control and BLE communication on an android system as the mobile platform for the health sensor’s client
application. We limited our investigation to sensed data reading. In an extended
version of this work, we will provide a whole prototype that could be tested
beyond the development environment and providing several vital signs monitoring (remote control, data visualization graphically) and decision making through
the processing of sensed vital signs.
