Current health-care systems around the world are
not that much smart, therefore it needs improvements. For remote patient
monitoring or tele-medicine many signals are required such as heart rate, BP,ECG, EEG, EKT, EOG and EMG. If these signals are collected by some system using
some sensor on patient's body and transferred to smart-phone for processing and
generating results by using available app in smart phone and further transfer
to patient's physician over internet, then this will make life easier for both
patient and doctor. It is possible to achieve this by using IoT/ IoE (Internet
of things/ everything) technology with SoC (system on chip).
Recently some battery-less SoC has been
developed with integrated energy harvesting power management units [1]. Small
and efficient power management units are in great demand for such kind of
systems [2]. For real time health monitoring, few developed sensor nodes are
also been reported in literature. These systems consists mainly sensor
interface circuits, analog to digital converter, digital signal processing unit
with digital power management and direct memory access arrangements. Radio
frequency transmitter is also another important part of these on chip systems
[3] [4]. Wearable computer or wearable electronics is playing its crucial role
for making health care systems smarter and compatible. This area of research
deals with many technologies such as software architecture, data communication
network, mobile computing, power management and many more [5].
