Abstract
Several convenience and efficiency applications have been proposed as part of recent vehicular networks (a.k.a. VANET) activities. Among these proposals, eHealth has often been studied as a time-critical application to emulate an ambulance. The Vehicle-To-Infrastructure (V2I) setting is the typical communication scenario to carry out the data in this case. From a user perspective, combining vehicular networking and eHealth to record and transmit a patient’s vital signs is a special telemedicine application that helps hospital resident professionals to optimally prepare the patient’s admittance. The current proposal pro-vides an IPv6 vehicular platform which integrates eHealth devices and allows sending captured user health-related data to a Personal Health Record (PHR) application server on the IPv6 Internet. The collected data are viewed remotely by a doctor and supports diagnostic decision. The resulting platform is then compared to the state-of-the-art related architectures.
