Wearable/Portable Health Monitoring System The development of Wearable Health Monitoring Systems (WHMS) has been motivated mainly by increasing healthcare costs and by the fact that the world population is ageing. In addition to that, R&D in WHMS has been propelled by recent technological advances in miniature bio-sensing devices, smart textiles, microelectronics and wireless communications techniques. These portable health systems can comprise various types of small physiological sensors, which enable continuous monitoring of a variety of human vital signs and other physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature, blood pressure, perspiration, oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram (ECG), body posture and activity etc.

And intelligent wearable health monitoring prototype which we call Prognosis. Graduate Student: Alexandros Pantelopoulos.
