N2  - Life expectancy is rising world wide thanks to the current advancement of medicine. Due to the fact that the population is growing old, also the incidence of chronic illnesses in the population is rising. For this reason, new paradigms of healthcare are being developed to achieve a better medical follow-up and also handle the rising costs. One approach that is proving successful is telemedicine, which focuses on decentralising the delivery of healthcare by means of new technologies based on network connectivity. One problem that rises in the definition of telemedicine systems is the one of security of medical data. In this paper we present our telemedicine system for monitoring Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). We addressed the problem of securing the communication between the patients and the doctors. The result is a fully implemented telemedicine system for GDM that mitigates the risks associated with the most common malicious attacks directed to a distributed system.
