Abstract

With the aging of population and the lower birth rate will increase the cost of man power for medicine. This paper proposed a method with small module to monitor the human body for chronic patients who need the long-term monitoring. A wireless communication, IEEE 802.15.1 Bluetooth specification, is used to develop the portable platform to transmit the ECG signals for healthcare monitoring.
