The design of PDA-based biomedical data processing and analysis for intelligent wearable health monitoring systems

In this paper we present the design of a PDA-based biomedical data processing and analysis system to manage and analyze the biomedical data coming from the smart shirt. We use a PDA equipped with the Bluetooth device to receive signal data in a fixed period. A simple analysis is done to detect abnormality and generate an alert if necessary. Then the signals are transmitted to a back-end server for further processing. The collected data will be stored in a data warehouse and analyzed by using data mining techniques. The purpose of analysis is to provide useful information for users to better understand their health condition and monitor body responses in their daily activities. Doctors can benefit from the real-time patient management of this e-service system as well.
