Abstract: It is shown by many statistical studies that the senior population, especially in developed countries, is in an increasing trend. For many reasons they tend to have in-home health care providers. The recent studies on biomedical information management focused on remote health monitoring frameworks including heart rate monitoring systems, glucose measurements for diabetics, and remote monitoring EEG and ECG. The main purposes of these studies are timely response to emergency situations and ensuring that the person is in a stable condition. In this study, developed via a system-on-chip circuit, we process the data collected from subjects through a temperature sensor and blood pressure sensor. Data are submitted in real time via a wireless secure channel to medical experts. An easy-to-use software interface is also developed as part of the framework.
