Cardiovascular health informatics, which includes acquisition, analysis, management and systematic use of obtained cardiovascular information, plays a key role in maintaining, enhancing and improving quality of human health. It can range from individual patients recordings to sharing integrated data on cardiovascular diseases. Contemporary challenges for cardiovascular health informatics are in the re-design and integration of the different distributed cardiovascular data that would obtain better understanding and would improve treatment of cardiovascular diseases and efficiency of the healthcare. The group from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, has developed OZIMS (Personal mobile health informatic system), a wireless integrated micro-systems that includes wearable intelligent sensor shirt capable for detection and continuous recording of heart rate rhythm, respiration rhythm rate, temperature and generally for recording of ECG. The OZIMS system is adapted for integration with the other sensor networks and therefore as a continuous recording system it can be used as wireless transmitter-receivers system for mobility and rehabilitation monitoring in hospitals or at home. The group from China have developed the sensors for continuous monitoring of the blood pressure (BP). Pulse transit time (PTT) -based BP estimation technique has great potential to be used for cuff-less, noninvasive, and continuous BP measurement. PTT can be practically measured as the time shift between R-peak of ECG and a characteristic point of photoplethysmography (PPG) of the same cardiac cycle. We propose the project that could integrate our OZIMS systems with the Chinese blood pressure monitoring sensor to obtain a new product and service functionality for the enhanced continuous monitoring of cardiovascular diseases and gathering medical data without a visit to a medical doctor or institution. Merged system could be used maintaining individual patient record as well as for the sharing cardiovascular information between multiple hospitals and agencies or for the alerting health professionals when a patient needs attention. Furthermore, through the proposed project confidentiality and security of patient data from misuse remains to be highlighted in order to ensure users’ (patients’) acceptability. In the proposed collaborative work, apart from seamlessly collecting, integrating and keeping track of individual record we are planning to expand it into trusted decision support system that would offer relevant, systematic and not overloaded information to clinicians and patients. In addition, we would like to point out that the proposed collaboration can be considered as continuation of the research at the project “Non-invasive measurements and methods in biomedicine” (Ministry of Science, Education and Sports grant no. 036-0362979-1554) and the is in alignment with the aims and objectives of that project. The proposal anticipates collaboration of young researchers from both partners and their exchange visits to laboratories in partner institutions. High interest for the proposed research topic expressed in scientific community worldwide and inclusion of young researchers into project research ensures sustainability of the collaboration and shall enable partners development of larger project proposals at international and EC calls. The research parties will subsequently arrange the dates of their visits during the second year of the project
