Framework for pervasive health monitoring
Xuemei Li, Jiang Liangzhong, Jincheng Li · 2008
Recent years have shown impressive growth in the development of pervasive healthcare systems, which are primarily being designed to provide emergency and preventive healthcare to citizens anywhere/anytime using wired and wireless mobile technologies. This paper presents an e-healthcare framework with pervasive sensor network for the disabled and elderly people. A home healthcare server collects user health information and sends the data in case of emergency to a doctor or guardian in order to achieve a pervasive intelligent healthcare system. Beyond e-healthcare service, as a primitive application for pervasive healthcare service using mobile Internet, we studied the real-time health-monitoring service for the disabled and elderly people with an inexpensive and effective Web server. Preliminary results are presented in the context of a larger future integration with the pervasive healthcare framework.
