Health and long term care is a growth area for wearable heath monitoring systems. Wearable diagnostic and therapeutic systems can contribute to timely point-of-care of patients with chronic health condition, especially chronic neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases and strokes that are leading causes of mortality worldwide. Recent progress in nano-bio-tech sensor systems and mobile platforms has resulted in novel wearable health monitoring systems for neurological and cardiovascular disorders. This talk addresses this emerging area with selected videos of subjects for real time measurements and control cardiac and neurological diseases. Combined with state-of-the-art embedded wireless network devices to communicate with smartphone, laptop or directly to remote server through mobile network (GSM,4G-LTE,GPRS), they can function as wearable wireless health- diagnostic systems that are more intuitive to use.
