RFID-based Wireless Health Monitoring System Design

This research provides a health monitor system with replaceable flexible non-fragile bio-probe on an active RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tag, such that the new system can improve the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and impedance matching problems. Besides, the bio-probe device can conform to the profile of a bio-body and to improve the electrical contact property. The detailed device fabrication and testing processes are given. Two examples are given to show that it is very useful for remote health monitoring. The first case is used to measure the differenceof acupuncture bio-potentials for a manwith and without staying up late for all night. The other is to show the differenceof acupuncture bio-potentials for a man with influenza before and after taking some tabletsof vitamin C.
