Abstract Our team proposes a concept allowing patients taking health check anytime everywhere, which can increase patients’ attention to their own health condition. To improve the user experience and convenience, the system must be designed to simply operate and easily connect with the medical devices. Moreover, the system must have the ability to communicate between the patients and doctor or medical personnel. In this paper, we illustrate our system, such as user interface, storage, display and cloud system. The user interface is designed with standardsbased Web technologies. We use PhoneGap to build cross-platform mobile apps with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Because patients need to keep their record of health check, we use SQLite database for storage. Moreover, for the patients’ E. H.-K. Wu (&)  S. S. Yen  W. T. Hsiao  C. H. Tsai  Y. J. Chen  W. C.
