Life-threatening conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases becoming more common, the need to change one's eating habits and to monitor one's lifestyle have become a necessity. However, going to the doctor frequently is very expensive, and preventive self-monitoring is now more practical and cost-effective. Furthermore, an organized health-monitoring and data-gathering system will make patient monitoring and case-by-case diagnosis and treatment easier. With the development of advanced mobile computing technology and interface able portable medical devices, this project aims to develop a health monitoring system with its cost-effectiveness, ease of data acquisition as features.
