    The acquisition of physiological data are essential to efficiently predict and treat cardiac patients before a heart attack occurs and effectively expedite motor recovery after a stroke. This goal can be achieved by using wearable wireless sensor network platforms for real-time healthcare monitoring. In this paper, we present a wireless physiological signal acquisition device and a smartphone-based software platform for real-time data processing and monitor and cloud server access for everyday ECG/EMG signal monitoring. The device is implemented in a compact size (diameter: 30 mm, thickness: 4.5 mm) where the biopotential is measured and wirelessly transmitted to a smartphone or a laptop for real-time monitoring, data recording and analysis. Adaptive digital filtering is applied to eliminate any interference noise that can occur during a regular at-home environment, while minimizing the data process time. The accuracy of ECG and EMG signal coverage is assessed using Bland-Altman analysis by comparing with a reference physiological signal acquisition instrument (RHS2116 Stim/Recording System, Intan). Signal coverage of R-R peak intervals showed almost identical outcome between this proposed work and the RHS2116, showing a mean difference in heart rate of 0.15 ± 4.65 bpm and a Wilcoxon's value of 0.133. A 24 h continuous recording session of ECG and EMG is conducted to demonstrate the robustness and stability of the device based on extended time wearability on a daily routine.
