WSN Based Personal Mobile Physiological Monitoring and Management System for Chronic Disease

This paper describes a robust healthcare monitoring system which possess multiple physiological signals measurements on real time that applicable to various environments which integrates wireless sensor network (WSN) technology and code division multiple assess (CDMA) with extended feature of locally standalone diagnosis algorithms that implemented in cell phone. A simple database is created inside the cell phone which eases patients to store, assess and manage their personal health records and information through this powerful integrated information management tool in anywhere and anytime. Any suspected or unknown patterns of signals will be immediately forwarded to hospital server using cell phone for doctors\´ evaluation. This features enable the patients realize the importance of self-health checking so that the preventive actions can be taken earlier because "Prevention is better than Cure". Appropriate self-monitoring and self-management can cure disease and relieve pain especially patients who suffer from chronic diseases that need long term observation.
