This paper demonstrates a new RFID based health management system with a low-power ARM microcomputer. RFID cards are usually used as identification in many companies. The developed RFID cards can measure exercise quantity of office workers by deploying a low-power microcomputer and sensors. It is well known that a quantity of exercise has a strong relation with a health condition. Therefore, a quantity of exercise is a key indicator to prevent chronic diseases. The developed system employs a standardized RFID system to communicate with RFID reader/writers. Therefore, it is easy to install the developed system by updating software for RFID reader/writers in entrance gates, doors, etc. This paper demonstrates the prototype system for health management system built on a low-power ARM microcomputer.
