居家看護是高齡化社會中一項日漸重要的問題。居家看護使用之儀器往往以體積小及多功能為發展目標。本研究希望利用PDA 的輕便易於使用，以及FPAA 可程式化的特性，研發出一套以FPAA 及PDA 為基礎之多功能生理信號量測模組，目標為能夠以單一且簡單的系統量測多種的生理信號，並希望能以即時的無線網路傳送與後端的與資料庫伺服器結合，成為一完整的居家看護生理監控系統。
Home care gradually becomes an important issue in modern society. Small-sized multifunctional instruments are preferred in home care situation. The
PDA is light and easy to use, and the FPAA is programmable. In this research, we take advantage of the properties of these two devices to develop a multifunctional module for biomedical signal measuring. Our goal is to measure various types of signal with the same module. The module can be easily integrated with real-time data transmission
through wireless LAN and database servers to form a complete home care system for physiological monitoring.
