Abstract :
People have the body inclination in motion everyday life, but it is difficult to know it. Unbalance of body caused various problems to the body. In order to aware of the body inclination, the measurement of the dynamic physiology parameter in motion is required. The body area network system is very effective measurement system to monitor the body inclination dynamically. This paper shows the system construction and measurement results.
