Abstract

Cell phone based mobile healthcare is becoming a trend. This paper describes a generic framework of mobile healthcare system based on a Blue tooth enabled cell phone and proposes an open communication protocol between cell phone and the biomedical sensors. The communication protocol should complete the functions of data transmission, sensor management, state feedback, network maintenance, etc. It considers the physiological parameters used to monitoring human health status. In the end, an example to realizing the proposed communication protocol is presented.
