In addition, due to its capability to establish connection with Bluetooth device and wireless network, Smartphone provides a huge advantage to manage and share information's between wireless health care network and Bluetooth enabled devices. A Smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity then a contemporary basic feature phone. This thesis is a system that connects health care provides direct to their patient and provides freedom to patient to collect and send their biometric data from anywhere to wireless health network in real time. Implementation of this thesis consists Web Application (Server) and Mobile Application (Client) development. By using Bluetooth enable medical device sand Smartphone application user can mange and share their biometric data with health care network and health care provider can keep track of patient and their biometric data.
