Abstract :
In application to home health monitoring, a fully automated biosignal data acquisition system was developed. The purpose of this system is measuring biosignals at home during daily life over the long term without any disturbance. In a preliminary study, biosignal data during bathing was attempted. ECG during bathing was automatically measured and stored in a home computer. Personal identification was also carried out when the number of family members was two or more. An experiment was performed in laboratory-based facilities and two healthy male subjects were examined. The results showed that the system was operated without any trouble and the two subjects were successfully identified
