Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile device system actively capturing physiological parameters which comprises a suite of master software and a physiological measurement module: the master software actively sends master control signals through the mobile device'"'"'s first wireless communications module and receives as well as present wireless physiological signals so that the physiological measurement module which is controlled by the mobile device measures physiological data and deliver them to the mobile device for display. As such, the mobile device can be used to actively control the physiological measurement module, capturing and saving physiological data, and actively presenting physiological data on the mobile device'"'"'s display.
