The growing adoption of electronic medical records will require that healthcare professionals and patients are able to access health information on devices such as laptops, personal computers, and even smart phones. Due to the sensitive nature of such information, it is important to secure client-side devices used in electronic healthcare systems that handle sensitive medical data. These device...

Huge advances in medical devices, especially connected and mobile devices, are being driven by the need to provide greater access to healthcare services, offer greater convenience to both patients & clinicians, and most importantly reduce healthcare costs. Using medical devices that are connected remotely requires fewer doctors who can serve more people with greater efficiency. The proliferatio...

The patients of today are more often than previously said to act as consumers towards healthcare. However, the definition of the concept of consumer is often unclear and not based on theory. The present paper applies a theoretical framework that emphasizes the role of technological devices for the construction of calculating consumers as outlined by Michel Callon. The focus is on to what extent...

The enhancement of existing electronics healthcare (e-health) has used internet-based embedded sensing biomedical devices. The biomedical devices are capable to interact with other mobile applications to deliver healthcare services on a global scale. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group has introduced IPv6 over wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN). The 6LoWPAN technolog...
