Abstract

New attractive trends for personal healthcare are caring him/herself in the daily life without complicated manipulation. To go with the trends, a wearable device, which to be processed in the behind is desirable and preferred. So we propose a health-assistant system based on accessory-type physiological signal sensing device as an intermediate route for healthcare to the daily life support. The main motivation for this work is trying to create and propagate a working environment of health-assistant system to the daily life by means of convenient devices and collaborated software platform.
