Sensor Networks in Pervasive Healthcare Computing

Pervasive computing, in technological sense, presents a fusion of various geographically scattered devices and software modules integrated into systems, very diverse regarding the purpose, architecture, and the used technology. Ubiquitous computing is one of the most challenging areas of the distributed (medical) informatics today. Instead of the literal meaning of the term ubiquitous, which means everywhere, the more reasonable definition of ubiquitous computing (based on socioeconomic sense) would explain it as a technology which can be available anywhere that it is useful and economically viable to expect to find a sensor (“Ubiquitous Sensor Networks,” 2008).
