Ubiquitous Computing –Remote Patients Healthcare Devices using Wireless Technology

Abstract

ABSTRACT
The evolving concepts of pervasive computing, ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence are increasingly influencing health care. The goal of this paper is to monitor the remote patient’s health status and provide a
secure healthcare system using GSM technology with the help of wearable computers .To achieve this vision, several technological issues have to be solved: (i) Body sensors to monitor vital functions like ECG, BP and
Body Temperature have to be developed; (ii) the collected sensor data has to be analyzed to detect emergency situations; (iii) relevant data has to be integrated with other information systems in the work environment of medical experts; (iv) information has to be send in secure way using embedded technology. From a technological perspective, we propose that the combination of smart objects and the patient’s mobile phone has a lot of potential in the healthcare domain because the smart objects will benefit from the ubiquitous communication infrastructure, the storage functionality and the familiar user interface the mobile phone provides.
