A home care system using information technology is important role in the aged society, because the number of the caregiver will decrease and assistive device using information technology and robotics is required in the near future. Thus, several home care systems has been developed and the part of them are marketed. Because the special hardware or software is necessary, the conventional systems are expensive for widely use. Therefore, we have proposed the home care system using WWW technology. In this paper, we describe the ECG transfer system using JAVA script. In this system, special plugins such as JAVA virtual machine are unnecessary to browse the ECG excluding WWW browser. Therefore, PDA or the mobile phone is available for tele-diagnosis.
