摘要:The Health Monitoring System is a greatly developed technology for controlling and monitoring the situation of patients based on Human-health parameters. As healthcare costs are increasing and the world population is ageing, there has been a need to monitor a patient's health status while patient is out of the hospital in his personal environment. To address this demand, a variety of system prototypes and commercial products have been produced, which aim at providing real-time feedback information about one's health condition. The Health Monitoring system is based on modern wearable and mobile technology. Wearable Health Monitoring Systems are used to enable prevention and early intervention in case of health problems. The aim of this paper is to survey regarding public health monitoring using smart phones. The wearable sensors and smart phones are used to monitor the wellbeing of high risk patients, according to the situation the smart phone can automatically alert pre assigned caregivers or call the ambulance. The location of the patient can be tracked by using GPS to help the patient in emergency situation.
