The idea of the Internet of things, combined with the technology of cloud computing, open new horizons in the field of healthcare. The use of wearable sensors and their possibility of connectivity to the Internet provide significant benefits not only to healthcare organizations, to which they allow a continuous, easy and efficient monitoring of the patients΄ vital data from anywhere, leading to cost savings such as equipment and nursing staff, but also to patients themselves, who can now easily and safely perform their daily activities, wearing the appropriate sensors.The Intelligent Gateway application, taking advantage of the possibilities offered by Android smartphones and their capabilities to communicate with wearable Bluetooth low energy (BLE) sensors and with the Cloud through Wireless Networks. Intelligate transform a Android platform (such as a smartphone) to a gateway allowing for continuous and fast communication of vital data with the cloud and from there the health case personnel.. In particular, this application allows the collection, processing and storage of vital data that the BLE sensors produce, such as the pulse rate, as well as the transfer of useful information to the cloud through a "smart" and dynamic way. "Smart" because there will be an internal processing of the signal that are received from BLE sensors that declares the way data is send to cloud .Dynamic because our system has the ability to recognize new characteristic values of BLE sensors by editing a XML schema . Finally, the use of cloud services, through the Intelligate application, allows the reception, processing and storage of data, the recording of the measuring indications of the sensors in real time, the information of the patient by his doctor and several additional functions, combining Generic enablers and computing resources that are accessed online and that are provided by cloud infrastructures, helping in the overall interoperability of the system. Building upon principles of service oriented design, Intelligate takes full advantage of cloud services for processing potential big data streams produced by an ever increasing number of users and sensors while being expandable with new features without effecting existing ones.
