Ubiquitous Healthcare Diagnosis System for Smartphone using Vital Integrated Medical Instrument

Abstract

Abstract. The most universal touchstone to measure patient's state is body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation level, stethoscope, etc. Basic medical instruments are kept in many homes for family health. However, most personal medical equipment so far is stand-alone products which cannot keep tracks for family health issues. u-Healthcare system for smart phones uses vital-integrated communication module. This smart application for diagnosis system sends body sounds and signals (temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation level, and stethoscope) to smart phone for diagnosis regardless of time and place. This study describes hardware construction of the diagnostic system in detail and argues new concept of diagnostic system environment via a smart phone application.
