Pervasive healthcare is an emerging discipline concerning the application of wireless, mobile, and intelligent technologies to certain healthcare issues. Such issues within healthcare systems include the increased incidence of lifestyle-related diseases and chronic illnesses, the need to educate individuals on the management of their own health, the rise of consumerism in healthcare, and also the need to provide direct access to healthcare services, irrespective of time and place. Pervasive and Smart Technologies for Healthcare: Ubiquitous Methodologies and Tools provides insight from members of prestigious universities and research institutes around the world into possible solutions for the aforementioned pressures within today's healthcare systems. Pervasive healthcare technologies are creating a new market for higher quality and less expensive healthcare applications, making this book ideal for ICT community members willing to design and develop advanced pervasive healthcare applications, and healthcare practitioners wanting to reorganize business processes within a healthcare system so that patients are diagnosed and treated more quickly and effectively.
