Description
Summary:	The measurement system for healthcare signals such as heart rate and body temperature is significantly important to prevent and monitor of potential heart attack. Although numerous researchers have developed wearable devices and systems, there are still lots of issues to be solved to expand their applications. To overcome such issues, we propose the new types of healthcare-on-a-patch using flexible PCB and flexible battery. This patch system could measure and transmit the physiological signal on body skin. The heart rate and the body temperature were excellently monitored in Bluetooth wireless communication. Furthermore, it was flexible enough to be rolled in a small barrel while working.
