### Wireless MedCARE

- | Author: Chuck Kring
- | Company: Wireless MedCARE

Wireless MedCARE is implementing a patient monitoring solution for nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. A key part of our architecture is a Java application that receives data from various sensors then sends alerts and/or creates caregiver tasks based upon alarms and customer-specific business rules. This application has a complex internal data model so we use Castor to marshal the data model to and from an XML configuration file. We also use Castor to marshal a facade layer to and from XML in order to implement an XML-RPC interface. We use a manually-generated mapping file for configuration but automatically generate a mapping file from the facade objects.
