Abstract :
Smart health care, that measures users´ living conditions and health status using small sensing devices and collecting their data over a network under daily life, is expected as a new trend. It is getting paid more attention along with the increase of demands of preventive care. In this paper, vital data rates and the amount of the data accumulation in a variety of smart health care use cases are discussed. Then, the relationship between the use cases and possible applications of short-range wireless systems is discussed. Finally, our developed patch type wearable vital monitoring device that multiple numbers of vital sensors, a high performance processor and a dual mode Bluetooth transceiver are integrated into a 14.5×14.5mm module is introduced.
