Home health care system and long term physiologic parameters monitoring system are important for chronic disease patients and elderly. They could provide patient and paramedic instant health information and generate alert while emergence. As a result, the research and development of these systems are attracting much attention from researchers. Currently, one of the main research directions is to develop versatile, intelligent, accurate, and convenient system, because it can elevate the performance for the users.
Intra-body communication (IBC), which employs human body as the transmission medium [1], is an emerging communication technique for home health care system. Since it employs human body as a “wet wire” for data channel through the electrodes attached to the skin, external electromagnetic noise has little influence and abundant cables often appeared in health care devices are reduced. Moreover, high conductivity of human body compared to the surrounding suggests the IBC as a power-saving means, operating on only several mill watts of power. These features are especially suitable for home health care system and long term monitoring devices, as abundant cables always imply reduced reliability for this kind of system.
