Wireless Health Data Exchange for Home Healthcare Monitoring Systems

Wireless Health Data Exchange for Home Healthcare Monitoring Systems

Ubiquitous home healthcare systems have been playing an increasingly significant role in the treatment and management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, but progress has been hampered by the lack of standardization in the exchange of medical health care information. In an effort to establish standardization, this paper proposes a home healthcare monitoring system data excha...

Pervasive Healthcare and Wireless Health Monitoring

With an increasingly mobile society and the worldwide deployment of mobile and wireless networks, the wireless infrastructure can support many current and emerging healthcare applications. This could fulfill the vision of “Pervasive Healthcare” or healthcare to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and the quality. In ...

Sensor-based Wireless Wearable Systems for Healthcare and Falls Monitoring

The rapid aging of the world’s population, along with an increase in the prevalence of chronic illnesses, requires adaption and modification of current healthcare models. New trends on healthcare technologies fall into the use of autonomous systems that allows the capturing and monitoring of physiological parameters anytime and anywhere. One approach involves tele-health applications, many of w...

Pervasive Healthcare Computing: EMR/EHR, Wireless and Health Monitoring

ogy to our social life is changing it in both great depth and scope, and it will improve the healthcare system as well. Black et al. [1] envisioned that as pervasive computing develops, there will be an evolution from isolated “smart spaces” to more integrated enterprise environments where the dream of unconstrained, ubiquitous, pervasive computing will face the realities of enterprise requirem...
