A Health Surveillance Terminal Based on Android Smart Phone

The growing popularity of mobile communications and intelligent computing technology provides a wide range of opportunities for mobile medical applications. In this paper, an Android-based mobile terminal was designed and implemented to monitor the physiological parameters of human bodies. Wireless bluetooth technology was used for the communication between the sensor and the mobile terminal to form a body sensor network. The practical applications show that the terminal can help the patients with their physiological monitoring, diagnostics and health management.
