Abstract
Health monitoring system is an active application in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. It is an application of mobile computing technology for enhancing communication among health care workers, physicians and patients with a view to provide better health care system. Recent elevation in sensors, wireless communication and low-power integrated circuits has empowered the design of pocket size, light weight, low-cost, and interactive bio-sensor nodes. These nodes are seamlessly integrated for mobile health monitoring using wireless body area network which can sense, process and communicate one or more vital parameters. The proposed system, through mobile device can provide patient health parameters (such as temperature, heart rate and ECG) to medical server, care taker and to medical practitioner based on the biomedical and environmental data collected by deployed sensors. In this system, multiple physiological parameters are incorporated for monitoring as against one or two parameters in legacy system. In this paper hardware, software and implementation of system is discussed whereas the focus is on authentication, power consumption, accuracy in transmission of health parameters to medical server.

The citizens aged 65 will almost double by 2030 and as they age, [24] various ailments in that age group prevail
If affordable healthcare services are provided for patients who prefer to stay at home and still being monitored due to an ailment through which they are undergoing, this will be beneficial to the patients but to the country as well, as it will decrease the load on health care systems
The data is sensed by the sensor network and collected data is transmitted to a patient's cell phone, PDA or to PC which in turn is transmitted to Medical Server
Summary
The citizens aged 65 will almost double by 2030 and as they age, [24] various ailments in that age group prevail. If affordable healthcare services are provided for patients who prefer to stay at home and still being monitored due to an ailment through which they are undergoing, this will be beneficial to the patients but to the country as well, as it will decrease the load on health care systems. It is the time to overcome the bodily limitations of hospitals and instead of bringing patients to the hospital extending patient monitoring facilities at home will benefit. The solution to this is the ―Mobile Health Monitoring System‖. Number of citizens are participating in design, development and evaluating mobile technologies for customized health care.
