The need for low-cost health care requires patients to play an active role in their own health care outside traditional hospitals and other government-run institutions using personalized health management systems. Such management systems will be built on low-cost, ultra-low-power consumer devices such as laptops, smart tablets and phones, together with low-cost wearable sensor technologies. The smart devices provide a portable monitoring system with significant processing capability with wireless connections to world-wide-web cloud services. As the number of smart devices sold in the past decade is in excess of 2/5th of the entire world’s population, the bottleneck to a low-cost health network for all lies between the smart device and the individual person. It is therefore our intention with this research aim to focus on the “last decimeter” between the individual and the smart device using low-cost electronics and MEMS technologies.

对低成本医疗保健的需求要求患者在传统医院和其他政府运营的机构之外，使用个性化的健康管理系统，在自己的医疗保健中发挥积极作用。这种管理系统将建立在低成本、超低功耗的消费设备上，如笔记本电脑、智能平板电脑和手机，以及低成本的可穿戴传感器技术。智能设备提供具有显著处理能力的便携式监测系统，其具有到万维网云服务的无线连接。由于过去十年中销售的智能设备数量超过全球人口的五分之二，因此为所有人提供低成本健康网络的瓶颈在于智能设备和个人之间。因此，我们的研究目的是专注于使用低成本电子和MEMS技术的个人和智能设备之间的“最后分米”。
