Abstract :
Mobile computing makes it possible to achieve system of personal healthcare and emergency alert and tracking which can monitor personal health status in a real-time manner and automatically issue the alert for medical aids in case of emergency by tracking user’s location correctly. With the development of the technologies such as mobile computing, distributed computing and wireless sensor network, it is possible to provide the elderly with healthcare services that can monitor the elderly anytime anywhere. This paper presents a review on mobile based health monitoring systems. It also discusses the desirable properties of a good mobile health care system as well as few existing health care applications are also briefly described.
