摘要

物聯網在近幾年變成一個非常熱門的主題，他提供了一個訊息收集、分享的關鍵性答案。在健康照護中，這個概念通常用來實現遠距離監控以及遠端服務。到目前為止，已經有各式各樣搭配物聯網概念的應用產生，而基於物聯網概念的穿戴式健康監控系統就是其中之一。
在此篇論文中，系統使用”廣域網-感測器區域網”這種無線感測器網路架構來進行設計，在這樣的系統中，主要會有三種組成物件：主感測器節點、從感測器節點、和中心伺服器，從感測器節點負責量測環境或人體的參數資料；主感測器節點負責搜尋周圍的從感測器節點，並進行連線、收集參數資料；中心伺服器則匯集所有主感測器節點收集到的資料參數。在這樣的無線感測網路架構下，系統使用藍芽、Wi-Fi 這兩種最常見的通訊技術來傳遞資料，我們也設計網站提供客戶端所需要的資料作圖、以及使用者互動介面。人們可以藉由連上網際網路來觀察這些資料參數以及調整系統。經過實作與評估後，系統表現良好，資料上傳時間平均0.713 秒，每次啟動時間89.5 秒。此外，主感測器節點是實作於安卓系統的裝置上，能提供一般使用者用自己的安著手機平板去建立感測網路，如此一來這個系統不只能在控制區域(例如：醫院環境)下使用，未來也能夠開發成行動健康照護的應用。

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a hot topic these years. It provides a key to information collection and sharing. In the application for healthcare, it is used to build applications such as remote monitoring and tele-care systems. Up to now, there have been various kinds of IoT applications for healthcare. Among all kinds of IoT applications for healthcare, the IoT-based Wearable Healthcare Monitoring System (WHMS) is one of the most popular applications.
In this thesis, an IoT-based WHMS is designed by using the wide area network-sensor area network (WAN-SAN) architecture. In this system, there are three basic components: the master sensor node (MSN), the slave sensor node (SSN), and the central server. The SSN is responsible for measuring parameters from humans or environments. The MSN is responsible for discovering, connecting to SSNs, and collecting data from them. The central server is responsible for handling the connection between MSNs and SSNs, collecting data from all MSNs, and managing data. In theWAN-SAN architecture, we use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which are two of the most common communication technologies, to transfer data. There is also a website which provides visualized data and the GUI for the clients. People can observe data and configure the system on the website through the Internet. After implementation and evaluation, this system presents an adequate performance, with an average 0.713 seconds for data upload and 89.5 seconds for the system set-up. Besides, the MSN in this system is implemented on the Android platform, which means that people can use their Android mobile devices to set up MSNs everywhere. This system can be not only used in the controlled area such as the hospital environment, but also developed into a mobile-health application in the future.
