With the increasing number of chronic disease patients, the importance of everyday health care has grown more significant. The study researchers expected it would help for patients´ health improvement and healthcare service expansion if users check their vital signs in their daily lives and send the results to a medical center´s servers through a specific device automatically.

The gateway is designed in a USB type and can transmit standardized data, operating regardless of a user´s location and Personal Healthcare Devices (PHDs).
