The Continua reference architecture is now widely considered to be the
de facto
framework for implementation of personal telehealth systems. Existing Continua guidelines specify the use of personal or local area network technologies (Bluetooth, USB, ZigBee) for personal health device connectivity within the monitored person’s local environment. However, there are now efforts to update the Continua reference architecture to include personal health devices with integrated 3GPP radio interfaces (GPRS, HSPA, LTE etc.). To that end, indoor femtocell home gateways provide several benefits for personal telehealth systems with such 3GPP-compliant Continua health devices. A notable benefit is the reduced power consumption by the devices compared to case where connectivity is via outdoor macro base stations. This paper supports this premise with some results from comparative simulations between femto- and macro-based implementations of the Continua personal telehealth systems.
