Abstract

In the ageing society, medical service has changed from the 'cure-service' for patients to the 'care-service' for semi-healthy or healthy people. The care service for healthy people in daily-life requires using a homecare kit to measure and analyze their personal bio-signal in daily activities. The acquisition signal in daily-life can help detect early symptoms of disease and enable their cure. In this paper, we propose a homecare kit based cloud platform for the acquisition, analysis and management of the multiple bio-signals from daily-life activity, and for sending alerts to another user (guardian) or doctor when a dangerous situation occurs. In the proposed platform, the homecare kit consists of wearable devices with embedded biosensors: ACC, PPG/SpO2, Breathing, ECG, and the user can easily wear and use the homecare kit for measuring the bio-signal in daily life or while sleeping. If the user is a patient with a disease such as arrhythmias, during a dangerous situation such as breaking down or a stop in breathing, the alert messaging service can alert the asynchronous push message to the registered guardian or doctor. In the hospital, healthcare professional staff can also analyze the stacked bio-signal from a user's daily life and can prescribe for personal living. For the verification of the implemented homecare kit, a sleep apnea patient actually wore our homecare kit and polysomnography equipment simultaneously in the hospital. We evaluated the equipment equivalence based on the analysis result and acquisition bio-signal.
