To provide more comfortable and effective healthcare services a recent trend of healthcare has been directed towards deinstitutionalization community care and home care. On the other hand the technologies for healthcare have run an impressive evolution in signal image processing computers and network communications and have facilitated the development of effective signal image processing techniques in consumer electronics. Accordingly the quality of community and home healthcare has been significantly improved and many portable devices have also been developed for a wide variety of applications where signal processing-based software plays a .
