Solutions in healthcare are focused on diagnostics, productivity and personal care in this way, theWireless Sensor Networks WSN allow health professionals to monitor people more efficiently. To make integration between WSN and the applications and interfaces that health professionals use more effective its needed a software component that facilitates and mitigates the problems of developing these applications, this component is called middleware. From the perspective of software development, this middleware mainly offers the advantage of focusing the work on the requirements of the software, making the programmer not to worry about the characteristics of hardware and interconnection of devices in the WSN. In the way to facilitate the use of applications in healthcare, this middleware offers some features that are introduced to simplify and ensure the transmission of information in addition to providing reliable use of them. In this work we propose a middleware named Kratos that allows portability and concurrent execution of applications by standardized interfaces to mobile devices, allowing their use in sensor networks applied to health in a transparent way. To evaluate the use of Kratos and its functionality was proposed an application scenario for monitoring electrocardiographic signals (ECG), which will conduct the monitoring and sending alerts to mobile devices from a medical staff. The implementation of the ECG sensor and all the modeling of middleware is in compliance with the IEEE 1451 family of standards.
