Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the most critical health problem in China. Large number of researches and clinical experiments has demonstrated that home healthcare helps detect CVD at early stage. This work designed a mobile health system. Physiological signals are acquired by portable apparatus and transferred to the home healthcare gateway or personal mobile devices and finally to the community healthcare center. General practitioners could analyze the CVD related indices and reply to users along with a report, which provides the health status and daily health care suggestions.
