Mobile apparatus for personal health management and method thereof

2009 
PURPOSE: A portable system for managing personal heath and a method for the same are provided to continuously monitor an electrocardiogram(ECG) signal without consciousness by processing a signal from a separated sensor module measuring the bio signal of a user. CONSTITUTION: An upper body sensor module(100) measures the upper body movement and the bio signal of a user, and measured data is wirelessly transmitted. A lower body sensor module(300) measures the lower body movement of the user and the pressure of both foot, and measured data is wirelessly transmitted. A portable unit(200) receives data from the upper body sensor module and the lower body sensor module. The measured data is separated into bio signal data, movement data, and pressure data. An ECG signal is extracted from the bio signal data. The movement amount of the user is calculated based on the movement data. The posture of the user is analyzed based on the pressure data.
