Abstract

The ubiquity of broadband wireless coverage and widespread usage of smart phones around the world carry a potential for transforming health care services, reducing health care cost, and ensuring faster care for urgent cases. To these objectives, we present a mobile-based health monitoring solution that takes advantage of the mobile's increasing processing capability to address the rising cost of health care. The solution enables health care providers to easily analyze and diagnose a patient's data. This is possible due to the low cost in integrating a powerful data analysis tool with the mobile device. This paper presents a proof of concept that has been developed to monitor, record, and analyze the heart rate. The design enables a physician to develop custom analysis and monitoring to collect key indicators or set alerts without a need for infrastructure implementations to store or transfer the data.
