ABSTRACT
The mobile medical diagnosis and health monitoring system helps in managing the various chronic diseases like asthma, blood pressure and
heart diseases etc. in consultation with the remotely available physicians by initiating the emergency call automatically on the physician’s mobile
phone and providing the on-line vital medical parameters captured by the body area sensor network of the patient. We observed that a GPU
based solution can outperform a CPU based solution by more than 30% in terms of speed up, while giving same accuracy of results, divided
among healthy, normal and unhealthy patients. Finally, key parameter to model our health care data likestandard deviations of {1, 0.5, 0.5},
means of {(1, 1), (0, 0), (-1,-1)} are used to study healthy persons and unhealthy patients.

INTRODUCTION
Today, we are witnessing a rapid surge in amount of data
growth. Data acquisition methods are also improving day-by-
day. The embedded patient monitoring systems also
generate huge amount of data. Therefore, one of the goals of
this research is to understand how this health care related
data of patients can be used to come up with better solutions.
Several aspects of the developed system related to design,
usability, reliability, and accuracy etc. will also be studied in
actual field conditions [1-5].
SIMULATION DETAILS & RESULTS
Our algorithm runs on a CPU-GPU hybrid system. The
parallel algorithm was implemented on NVIDIA GPU using
CUDA-C. Not all part can be ported to GPU as discussed
above. But the portion of the algorithm which can be ported
is a highly compute intensive – calculation of distance. In
Figure 1 we show the health care data set consisting of 16K
points based on the ground truth.
