Abstract
A health monitoring method of a health monitoring apparatus which wirelessly communicates with a wireless terminal and includes a camera module is provided. The apparatus establishes a connection with the wireless terminal and receives a control signal from the wireless terminal. The apparatus captures an image of a body part with the camera module in response to the control signal, and encodes the captured image into a digital image signal. The apparatus then packetizes the digital image signal and transmits the packetized signal to the wireless terminal.
