without disturbing daily activities. This system
aims to provide automated health management
service, anytime and anywhere on the mobile
phone network. Our health care system
automatically measures a person’s health status
via special sensor integrated with a mobile phone
[10].
To monitor human health constantly without
disturbing user’s normal daily activities, the
wearable sensors and devices for physiological
data collection should be designed to be so small
that they will not affect the appearance and
function of the user. The figure 1 shows the
prototype implementation of the entire system
including sensor devised specially for this
purpose.
