Abstract :
This study presents the design and development of a wearable ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system using integrated electrocardiogram (ECG), Photoplethysmogratphy(PPG), Skin Temperature and Accelerometer etc. In this design, non-intrusive healthcare system was designed based on WBAN for wide area coverage with minimum battery power to support RF transmission. In this system, WBAN(wireless body area network), ZigBee, is used to communicate between warable physiological signal devices and the personalized mobile system. We have developed various devices such as a wearable chest, wrist and necklace Device. The wearable ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system allows physiological data to be transmitted in wireless sensor network for Mobile network.
