Abstract
Recently there are some trends to construct smart home system infrastructure depending upon the development of Information and Communication Technology. Also requirements of the Ubiquitous Healthcare Systems at home which can monitor the status of health continuously are increased rapidly comparing with hospitals. Healthcare service can be divided into two categories. The first one is Alarm Service that can be used for the emergency status and the other one is Remote Support Service which can monitor the patient including home environments and give those diagnosis information to medical office or to his family. Generally wired networks and fixed healthcare measuring system have some limits to transmit reliable realtime based information for both categories described above comparing with portable monitoring system. Getting over the inefficiency we will design and implement portable healthcare system under the wireless Zigbee network environments.
