Abstract

With rapid aging and economic growth, people are becoming more interested in their long-term health and wellness. In this paper, we implement a home self healthcare monitoring system which can monitor respiration, blood glucose, urinary flow, and temperature. The obtained bio-signal by the each sensing unit is transmitted to a monitoring station using Zigbee wireless communication in real time at home on the personal computer.
