近來人口老化以及慢性病患人口上升，這也影響到醫療成本的看漲。因此遠端看護就扮演一個非常重要的角色。然而實行上的問題往往在於如何監控病患的健康，以及如何提供直接方便的健康數據傳輸，並且在過程中需要對病患的隱私資訊做好保密。近場通訊是一種短距離的高頻無線通訊技術。它是被設計用來為兩個電子設備提供一個直觀，簡單以及安全的通訊方式。本論文提出一個將NFC應用在遠端看護的系統，以一個具有NFC功能的行動裝置作為病患與醫生之間的中介。行動裝置將負責健康數據的採集與傳送，且運用Socket來配合整個健康數據的傳輸。本系統也為病患提供了一個直觀的健康數據採集方式，此外在數據監控上還有設定一個對危險數據的警告機制。

Geriatric population and chronic diseases are increasing. It influences the growing medical costs on hospital, and therefore the monitoring health care becomes to play an important role. The difficulty is how to monitor the patient’s daily health data and provide a convenient, direct way in health data transmit. The most important thing is how to keep the safety of the patient’s privacy. Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short range wireless technology. It is designed for intuitive, simple and safe communication between electronic devices. NFC provides a quick and intuitive interaction between user and device. The NFC monitoring health-care system is proposed and developed where the NFC-enabled mobile device plays as an interface between patient and doctor. The mobile device is responsible for health data collection and transmission. Besides, this research uses Sockets to complete the transmission. This system provides an intuitive way for health data collecting by patient, and the system set a warning data filter for the data monitoring.
