Health0: a new health and lifestyle management paradigm.
The paper describes Health0: an innovative healthcare and lifestyle management wearable system that aims to bring an individual focused approach to healthcare. A modular architecture is proposed that combines a Linux-based PDA with a distributed wireless sensor-network and innovative bandage-sized (2.5 cm2) sensor hardware. Real-world scenarios that can use the Health0 system are discussed.
