**3. Conclusion**

With the above examples we would like to demonstrate how new technology can help in health monitoring and health management. Different aspects of health have been considered to demonstrate that the conceptual approach does not need to be very different from application to application. In all the above examples we have used mathematical modelling in order to identify and isolate the aspects of the 'system' (i.e. the living organism) that are of interest in every particular application. This way we have developed real-time and automatic algorithms for monitoring and management of health related issues.

At the moment, technology and sensors can still be bulky and not very comfortable for use in everyday applications, but it is expected that in the near future this situation will change. Sensors integrated in clothing and energy harvesting from the body pose two candidates to boost wearable device markets and provide solutions for health monitoring and management applications.
