This document covers the design, implementation and evaluation of a system that receives, processes and presents live streams of vital signs from sensors attached to a person’s body or in his surrounding environment. This is used either to prevent, analyse and/or act upon a critical scenario of emergency. Due to this critical scenarios where the system can be used, a distributed approach is implemented. Its aim is to reduce the risk of failure and give the possibility of transparent resource scaling according to the needs. Moreover, it is fully modularized for feature extensability and multiple sensor type support. Its Web interface is meant to provide a multi-platform access to the system, as long as the platform has a browser installed. It has a responsive design, according to the screen size of the client device, be it a smartphone, a tablet or a desktop computer. Given the maturity of Web applications and services available, it is easy to add the support for different visualization frameworks or services.
