This goal can be achieved by using wearable wireless sensor network platforms for real-time healthcare monitoring. In this paper, we present a wireless physiological signal acquisition device and a smartphone-based software platform for real-time data processing and monitor and cloud server access for everyday ECG\/EMG signal monitoring. The device is implemented in a compact size (diameter: 30 mm, thickness: 4.5 mm) where the biopotential is measured and wirelessly transmitted to a smartphone or a laptop for real-time monitoring, data recording and analysis. Adaptive digital filtering is applied to eliminate any interference noise that can occur during a regular at-home environment, while minimizing the data process time. The accuracy of ECG and EMG signal coverage is assessed using Bland\u2013Altman analysis by comparing with a reference physiological signal acquisition instrument (RHS2116 Stim\/Recording System, Intan). Signal coverage of R-R peak intervals showed almost identical outcome between this proposed work and the RHS2116, showing a mean difference in heart rate of 0.15 \u00b1 4.65 bpm and a Wilcoxon\u2019s p value of 0.133. A 24 h continuous recording session of ECG and EMG is conducted to demonstrate the robustness and stability of the device based on extended time wearability on a daily routine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22010104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,27]],"date-time":"2021-12-27T01:06:54Z","timestamp":1640567214000},"page":"104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["A Real-Time Wearable Physiological Monitoring System for Home-Based Healthcare Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jin-Woo","family":"Jeong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Gachon University, Seongnam 13120, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6726-2599","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Woochan","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Incheon National University, Incheon 22012, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3511-3438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young-Joon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Gachon University, Seongnam 13120, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e29","article-title":"Heart disease and stroke statistics\u20142015 update: A report from the American Heart Association","volume":"131","author":"Mozaffarian","year":"2015","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2014.12.007","article-title":"Autonomic dysfunction in acute ischemic stroke: An underexplored therapeutic area?","volume":"348","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
