it’s not long since the advent of pervasive computing by mark weiser and one of its main usages is in healthcare systems. as this technology has been introduced only recently in this field and because we are dealing with peoples’ lives and their data, providing a high level of privacy and security is of great importance. various studies have been performed in which a certain method has been use...

One of the areas with greatest needs having available information at the right moment and with high accuracy is healthcare. Right information at right time saves lives. Healthcare is a vital domain which needs high processing power for high amounts of data. Due to the critical and the special characteristics of these systems, formal methods are used for specification, description and verificati...

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 ...

Pervasive computing is often mentioned in the context of improving healthcare. This paper presents a novel approach for diagnosing diabetes using neural networks and pervasive healthcare computing technologies. The recent developments in small mobile devices and wireless communications provide a strong motivation to develop new software techniques and mobile services for pervasive healthcare co...

Pervasive healthcare aims to deliver deinstitutionalised healthcare services to patients anytime and anywhere. Pervasive healthcare involves remote data collection through mobile devices and sensor network which the data is usually in large volume, varied formats and high frequency. The nature of big data such as volume, variety, velocity and veracity, together with its analytical capabilities ...

Pervasive healthcare systems use pervasive computing technologies, e.g., wearable medical sensors with wireless interconnects, to increase the modalities and spatiotemporal dimensions in which healthcare services can be provided for improving patient outcomes. Security is very important in pervasive healthcare systems to protect sensitive health information that it collects and manages; therefo...
