Wearable Healthcare monitoring system: A survey

Abstract

Wearable Healthcare monitoring system is very important and necessary especially in remote areas. The problem under study is to improve healthcare systems. In existing systems, the power consumption, cost is too high. Also there is no privacy in the system for the database protection which is prone to security attacks. The proposed system will implement a sensor interface with ultra low power MSP430 microcontroller, physiological sensors such as Heart rate sensor, Temperature sensor, Humidity sensor, Acceleration sensor, Zigbee transceiver for wireless transmission integrated in jacket. The proposed system designs a healthcare monitoring system which is connected to physician server or medical server through the internet.
