Nowadays, as technology is reaching a higher level every day, healthcare service's quality is being more and more cared about than ever. Researchers and innovators are trying to create a healthier life for people with the help of new technologies. And mobilr healthcare sensors are one of the most effective and innovative approaches to monitor users' health no matter of time and place. The booming of using handheld devices like smartphones, tablets, laptop… provides a huge opportunity for wireless devices, including healthcare sensors. In this scheme, sensors can be attached to the body and monitor body’s states and send the data over the air, leave out the wiring issue and all of its problems. However, the idea of having a high-performance health care sensing system encounters many difficulties: power supply, interference management, mobility of devices … The project focuses mainly on proposing and designing a solution for building such high-performance system. In this paper, the problem of building simple plug-and-play device, energy efficiency and interference management are to be carefully taken in consideration and examined for feasible solutions.
