The proactive development in electronic health (e-health) has introduced seemingly endless number of applications such as telemedicine, electronic records, healthcare score cards, healthcare monitoring etc. Yet, these applications confront the key challenges of network dependence and medical personnel necessity, which hinders the development of universality of e-health services. To mitigate suc...

In this article, we introduce a novel Remote Health Monitoring (RHM) system to enable high-quality pervasive healthcare services to users with low delivery delay and reduced costs. We define the RHM architecture and summarize the design considerations. We then present a promising commercialized solution, ViiCare, with system infrastructures and supporting techniques. We also discuss future rese...

Flexible health care service is a key driver in reducing expenditure and enabling improvements in disease management. Integration of modern wireless communication systems and sensor technology permit the real time acquisition, transmission and processing of critical medical information. Researchers have focused on streaming vital signs and physiological data over a wireless network to a central...

The Pervasive Healthcare Information Provision (PHIP) is a concept that ensures patients are covered with healthcare services with the appropriate information provision together with the technical infrastructure when needed. Clinicians can obtain the real-time information by accessing the electronic patient record that supports decision-making in providing health services. PHIP aims to provide ...

Our modern healthcare systems commonly face an important dilemma. While they depend on innovation to provide continuously greater healthcare value, they also struggle financially with the burden of adopting a continuous flow of new products and services. Although several disruptive healthcare models, i.e. decentralised, personalised, pervasive, connected, and stratified, promise to relieve some...

Pervasive computing has made life easy with communication devices. Today devise collaboration enhanced everywhere in this environment. It devices invisible and the services. This pervasive framework provides applications interactions, numerous cooperation accessibility, integration. The proposed work enumerates applications, security challenges. predicaments by assigning certificate credentials...

Public reporting of healthcare-associated infections is pervasive, with 33 states and the District of Columbia mandating public disclosure. We surveyed hospital epidemiologists on the perceived value of state public reports. Respondents believed consumers are unaware and do not consider the information important, but they indicated that epidemiologists have a role in consumer education.

Healthcare and human activity monitoring has become the most important task in pervasive computing. The paper presents improvements for the present real time health monitoring systems in order to attain more accurate and quick results of the condition analysis of the person in contact with the sensors, the processed method makes sure that the process is efficient and also economically

Pervasive healthcare systems have the potential to revolutionize next generation medical applications and significantly improve the quality of healthcare services. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of a number of sensing and monitoring healthcare devices for clinical applications ranging from managing chronic diseases and acute diabetes to epilepsy and other...

The pervasive use of technology in organizations to address the increased services complexity has created a critical dependency on information technology (IT) that calls to a specific focus on IT Governance (ITG). However, determining the right ITG mechanisms remains a complex endeavor. This paper uses Design Science Research and proposes an exploratory research by analyzing ITG case studies to...
