Remote health monitoring can be leveraged by the IoT paradigm. We tested OpenMotes, state-of-the-art IoT devices featuring IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, with Contiki-NG and OpenWSN, two of the most popular IoT operating systems, for the purpose of obtaining data from the OpenMote's sensors. The procedure is not strait forward and requires additional programing of the operating systems. All the steps necessary to make the OpenMote work with Contiki-NG are presented in detail. We also describe how to use Copper Firefox add-on to access the sensors data over CoAP, as well as how to design a functional web interface in Node-RED for the sensors data.
