鑒於現代人常因工作繁重而忽略個人健康及身體發出之警訊，日積月累而衍生疾病。究其主要原因為無法即時掌握身體健康狀況以能及早預防或治療，本論文對此進行健康促進系統之研製。健康促進廣意而言，能預防疾病及使人身心愉悅進而使疾病發生率減少之方法皆可稱之。本論文研製之個人健康促進系統包含兩部分：監測與紀錄身體健康訊息與營造舒適放鬆的工作環境。
本系統採用脈搏與體脂肪比例等生理健康密切相關之資訊作為偵測身體狀況的指標，研製脈搏計與人體阻抗計。脈搏計與人體阻抗計實現容易且無複雜操作程序，使用者於工作中隨時可測量且能於測量後透過後端的伺服器即時了解測量結果。透過使用者的脈象及中醫的脈象學能診斷可能或潛在的疾病；讓使用者了解並進而控制體脂肪比例的變化，能減低心血管疾病的發生率。本系統並提供恆溫器與穴道刺激器以期營造舒適放鬆的工作環境。恆溫器有助於幫助肢體末梢的血液循環，穴道刺激器有助於肌肉的刺激與放鬆。
本論文實作之個人健康促進系統主要建構於使用電腦之工作環境中，使用者端控制介面程式提供使用者操作與訊息回饋之功能。為了易於控制多個硬體元件與介面通訊，本系統使用MCU(Micro-Controller Unit)統一管理硬體元件。此MCU搭載即時作業系統核心，能控制與實際時間相關的測量與即時偵測，亦方便未來進行擴增硬體元件與控制功能。本論文之實作，如嵌製於滑鼠中的脈搏計、腳踏墊中的人體阻抗計以及滑鼠、鍵盤與腳踏墊上的恆溫器與穴道刺激器等，能於使用者操作電腦時監測使用者的健康狀況並提供使用者健康促進的工作環境。經由實測結果顯示，本系統之脈搏計能即時測量及顯示使用者的脈搏波形、人體阻抗計能提供良好的阻抗測量準確度，整體系統有助於提供使用者完善的健康促進使用環境。

It is common nowadays that people are overloaded and working too hard so as to pay less attention to their physical conditions. This might impose negative impact on their health. The situation can be improved only if people can monitor their health status and have information about their physical conditions available daily. This thesis proposes a personal health promotion system as a solution to the above issue. Health promotion means not only to prevent people from diseases, but also to promote one’s health. In addition, it is known that health promotion can be achieved through making one comfortable and relaxed either physically or mentally.
The main functions of the personal health promotion system are monitoring physical conditions and promoting health. In monitoring the physical conditions of user, pulse and body fat percentage are applied as important indices for early alert, and two relatively simple yet effective devices, namely pulsimeter and bio-impedance meter, are designed as the means to collect necessary data. To achieve promoting health, the system is equipped with acupuncture-point stimulator and thermostat in order to help provide a comfortable circumstance in user’s working environment.
The implementation of this health promotion system is intended to be used in a working environment of operating a computer, such as a desk-top PC. The system combines the pulsimeter with mouse to measure user’s pulse while user is holding the mouse, provide the body fat meter with a footrest pad which measures user’s bio-impedance while user place feet on it, and acupuncture-point stimulator and thermostat with mouse, keyboard and footrest pad. In order to manage all the devices, this system uses MCU running a real-time operating system. The results from tests show that our system can measure user’s pulse, body fat percentage with good precision and make user comfortable while user using the mouse, the keyboard and the footrest pad. In addition, during the test, the users did not feel being hindered from working by the devices.
