碩士 === 長庚大學 === 資訊工程學研究所 === 96 === With the wealthy life, people are getting more concern of their own health care and putting more efforts to “Regular Health Check”. The idea of having “Regular Health Check” is based on the concept of “the more quickly we found the disease, the more quickly we can treat’’. Early detection of diseases can be done by monitoring physiological signals constantly. For the modern society, people are too busy to have the routine that monitoring many signals of physiology. These physiological signals are monitored by different instruments and the cost is expensive. 　　This research tends to combine the modular instruments into one integrated chair that doing several tasks of measuring such as blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, height, weight and the body fat containment. And this chair would report all of them immediately. The integrated chair can be plugged any new biological-measuring devices. The proposed system is embedded in our chair and can record identity, biological data and time. Thus it can through the “Health Management System’’ to analyze and monitor the physiology in a long term observing. For the purpose of early diagnosing, we hope to find out the preliminary alerts of physiology and provide the users with information of hygiene and education without medical personnel assist.
