Freescale’s home health hub reference platform: Out-of-the box use case support
It connects wired or wireless biometric devices (including Continua-certified devices or IEEE11073-compliant devices like weight-scales, blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, pulse oximeters) that a patient suffering from chronic disease is already familiar with. This can easily be supported on the platform thanks to pre-validated connectivity stacks included in the development kit.
Device-to-cloud use cases involving commercial and off-the-shelf biometric devices can easily be prototyped with the reference platform. See Figure 2.

Advanced security features provided by the i.MX28 applications processor, like authenticated boot, hardware-based encryption and hashing, can also be prototyped using Freescale’s home health hub reference platform and will allow ODM or OEM customers to implement data privacy schemes and governed levels of medical data access.
The embedded security features will also allow for an easy integration of i.MX28-based telehealth platforms into medical health backbones (the Home Health Hub Reference Platform being pre-integrated with Microsoft’s Healthvault cloud service [3]) where authentic and encrypted do-it-yourself medical measurement results can be monitored by a triage center that would be alerted in real-time if a declining trend or vital statistic outside previously set limits is suspected. See Figure 3.

I'm guessing the title should read "Freescale floats home telehealth reference platform", not "Freescale floats home teleheath reference platform". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Consonants
