Cloud-assisted home health monitoring system

A new generation of home healthcare monitoring system strives to have such characteristics as low-cost, low-power and low-volume etc., and furthermore, it needs to quickly adapt to the development of national medical information based Cloud computing in China. In response to this trend, a Cloud-assisted home health monitoring system was designed in this paper. Sensors can be selectively configured to monitor the respective physiological signal depending on the diagnostic demands of a patient's disease. This system uses smart phones to receive physiological signals and cloud platforms (such as Xiamen Health Cloud) to storage physiological monitoring data. Combined with these data, health cloud provides risk assessment of chronic disease. Clinical application of the system shows that it has positive significance for patients with hypertension and diabetes who can enjoy health monitoring and the services of health could at home.
