Abstract

Collecting and analysing various personal biological and environmental sensing data is important for various medical services, for example, lifestyle self-check support, personalised medical support and medical studies for the public purpose. We propose a physiological and environmental information processing platform based on wearable sensors, for services to countermeasure to metabolic syndrome, and such lifestyle-related disease. We aim to deploy the proposed platform in five to ten years. In this paper, firstly we identify issues of daily healthcare support system. Then, we present the initiative of our research, which is composed by a unified health-related information processing platform, wearable sensors for lifestyle information collection, and flexible application architecture for development of new kind of healthcare services that offer merits to both patients and service providers.
