Telemonitoring systems have proven to greatly reduce medical costs while improving the quality of medical care. Today, the main factors restricting the development and popularization of Telemonitoring systems include scalability and compatibility. The current sensor devices lack unified standards and deliver complicated data structures. This paper presents the design for an ontologybased context model, and related middleware, that provide a reusable and extensible application framework for
