Abstract :
In this paper, we present a health care system which can diagnose chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome. In case of chronic invalids health information has to be check periodically, causing major inconvenience to the patient. In this paper, we propose an automatic diagnostic method for detecting metabolic syndrome, by utilizing a collaborative community computing approach in conjunction with a well-being index.
