Abstract :
Medical monitoring and smart home technology are combined to build a medical monitoring system of smart home, so that the general public could enjoy the close, professional and comfortable medical services. Medical monitoring technology of smart home breaks through the constraints of cable, medical testing can be carried out under the user´s normal as well as avoiding the result of the users´ stress, anxiety and other factors that influence the detection accuracy of the testing data, thereby reducing the possibility of misdiagnosis, relieving the pressure on the hospital and promote the development of low-cost medical care. Medical monitoring technology of smart home takes advantage of the ZigBee short-range wireless communication technology ,achieves continuous, real-time and dynamic detection of the human vital signs parameters, including electrocardiograph (ECG), oxygen saturation, blood pressure detections, builds sensor network, develops intelligent integrated software to provide users with independent, health, safety, convenience and the continuing human medical monitoring services.
