MOBILE HEALTHCARE MONITORING USING WEARABLE SENSORS

Abstract

This paper describes work in progress regarding personalized heart monitoring using smart phones. The
research combines ubiquitous with mobile health technology. This system uses wireless sensors and smart phones to
monitor the wellbeing of high risk cardiac patients. The smart phone analyses real-time the EGG data and determines
whether the personal needs external help. Depending on the situation the smart phone can automatically alert
pre-assigned caregivers or call the ambulance. It is also used to give advice (e.g. exercise more) or to reassure the
patient based on the sensors and environmental data.
