Diabetes is difficult to control and it is important to manage the diabetic's blood sugar level and prevent the associated complications by appropriate diabetic treatment. This paper proposes a system that can provide appropriate management for diabetes patients, according to their blood sugar level. The system is designed to send the information about the blood sugar levels, blood pressure, food consumption, exercise, etc.

In an effort to establish standardization, this paper proposes a home healthcare monitoring system data exchange scheme between the HL7 standard and the IEEE1451 standard. IEEE1451 is a standard for special sensor networks, such as industrial control and smart homes, and defines a suite of interfaces that communicate among heterogeneous networks.

- A biosensor consists of a bioreceptor, a recognition molecule, and a signal transducer that help detect target substances, with DNA-based biosensors specifically using DNA for hybridization with analytes.
- Current DNA biosensor research tends to focus on simple oligonucleotides and often overlooks the complexities found in real sample situations, making it crucial to find appropriate recognition molecules for actual target analytes.
- This study introduces a hybrid evolution-based algorithm that utilizes DNA computing and the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) to develop and evaluate DNA sequences that act as bioreceptors, enhancing the efficiency and stability of DNA biosensors for various recognition requirements.
