Abstract

This paper discusses the use of pervasive computing in health monitoring using computer devices with enriched database distribution to virtually bring the experts to an emergency site. It examines the vision of new field pervasive healthcare and identifies new research thrusts: Convenient communication and access to PHR (Patient Health Record), Helping experts, patients and others to navigate and locate nearest health care, convenient traffic monitoring for health experts. Some of hypothetical pervasive computing scenarios are considered and uses them to find out key capabilities that are missing from today’s systems. The paper ends with a discussion of the research necessary to develop these capabilities using embedded sensors.
