Abstract :
Computers contributed tremendously to the development of human civilization in terms of living convenience improvement, however many health problems may occur to long term computer users, occasionally resulting in death within certain cases. Due to these effects, this study proposes the multifunctional health monitor service, using a blood-oxygen sensor mouse as well as a pressure detection seat cushion to detect the user blood oxygen level and seating posture. Using these sensing design applications that can help the user to offer a long term monitor service for the self-management of users to prevent long term negative effects and solve these societal problems.
