Recently health care monitoring system is facing new challenges for structure and optimized in reacting to crisis and protective managing of wellness rather than the illness and focusing on preventive and early detection of emerging diseases as the better solution in monitoring the health. This project will focus on the design and developments of Intelligent Low-Cost Sensor-Networks-Based Health Monitoring System that will serve and assists intelligent automatic check-up of human body temperature monitoring system for elderly person, chronic patient, diagnosing illness patient, in critically ill patients, and patient during operation or after operation and so on. The device systems are built with the capability of the body temperature sensing, processing, data communication capabilities via wireless networks from host PC to mobile devices (PDA -Personal Digital Assistant) and smarts phone such as iPhone, ipad, Samsung Glaxy and HTC and so on, for temperature data monitoring and data analysis. The devices design criteria involved to design of low cost, low power consumption, miniature, lightweight sensor nodes, wearable, comfortable, security, reliability and easy to use. The prototype of the healthcare monitoring system is built in such a way that technology advance in auto power reset body sensors network (BSN), lower power integrated circuit evaluation board, advance software technology development and wireless network technology. To implement of this project electrical hardware integration and set up, software development and organization are involved to meet the project prototype design criteria.
