Abstract :
For maintaining our health, we need to know our physical condition. The daily monitoring which is one of methods for taking our physical condition is very important. Because we have to attach such a monitoring device on some part of our body for taking our condition, noninvasive monitoring devices are needed. For realizing such a noninvasive monitoring device, several micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) based monitoring system has been developed. From a viewpoint of attaching monitoring devices on our body, the smaller size of such monitoring system is better. An ultra-small monitoring device should have ultra-small size power source. Therefore, we need to design and develop a very small size of monitoring software with lower power consumption.
