Physiological signal monitoring is a key function in the application of home health care. In recent years, various devices for physiological signal monitoring in different environment were developed for assisting health care. However, monitoring alone can't fit the needs of many scenarios. As such, it is often that the patient requires some daily healthcare related interaction. It is also essential that a system not only monitors but also serves as an assistance to the patient, such as medicine taking reminder, home visiting arrangement, etc. for supporting the patient with interaction capabilities in daily care scenarios. Based on this consideration, this paper has presented a home health care box which provides health monitor and fits a variety of scenarios to achieve health management. In order for the home health box to be able to adapt for different scenarios, a message embedding mechanism is also presented in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
