Thanks to the proliferation of Internet Things (IoT), pervasive healthcare is gaining popularity day by as it offers health support patients irrespective their location. In emergency medical situations, aid can be sent quickly. Though not yet standardized, this research direction, (H-IoT), attracts attention community, both academia and industry. article, we conduct a comprehensive survey compu...

T he 9th International ACM/IEEE Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (Pervasive Health 2015) was held from 20–23 May at the scenic Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey. It had a total of 106 registrations, with 25 full papers and five short papers from around the world (see Figure 1). The conference showcased a wide variety of technology applications, methods, and st...

During the last decade, many countries launched ambitious Electronic Health Record (EHR) programs with the objective to increase the quality of care while decreasing its cost. Pervasive healthcare aims itself at making healthcare information securely available anywhere and anytime, even in disconnected environments (e.g., at patient home). Current server-based EHR solutions badly tackle disconn...

With rapid progress in wireless sensor networks (WSN) and pervasive computing technology, development of WSN-based pervasive healthcare systems, which provide patients and healthcare professionals with a convenient and efficient e-health environment, have become one of important and popular research topics in Health Information Systems (HIS). This paper proposes a Sensor-based Pervasive Healthc...

Pervasive healthcare is an emerging technology that aims to provide round-the-clock monitoring of several vital signs of patients using various health sensors, specialized communication protocols, and intelligent context-aware applications. Pervasive healthcare applications proactively contact the caregiver provided any abnormality arises in the health condition of a monitored patient. It has b...
