The purpose of this research was to develop a ranking framework in evaluating mobile patient monitoring systems (MPMSs) and its architecture components based on multi-criteria analysis. Ranking and selecting the best MPMSs in the telemedicine environment is a challenging task due to four issues, namely, multiple evaluation criteria, importance of criteria, data variation and unmeasurable values. The decision matrix was adopted from the most relevant studies and is found to be applicable, which is constructed on the basis of intersection between ‘evaluation criteria’ and ‘systems list’. The unmeasurable values (binominal values and multiple values) of the MPMS evaluation criteria in the adopted decision matrix are re-presenting based on four experts’ opinion by using the Best–Worst Method (BWM) to be mathematically applicable. The importance of the evaluation criteria based on the architecture components of the MPMS is determined by using the BWM with consistency value less .....
