Introduction
According to Varshney (U. Varshney, 2009) Pervasive HealthCare (PH) can
be defined as "conceptual system of providing healthcare to anyone, at
any time, and anywhere by removing restraints of time and location
while increasing both the coverage and the quality of healthcare". This
approach is based on information that is stored and available online
(Mikkonen, Vyrynen, Ikonen, & Heikkila, 2002). However, although the PH
has the potential to reduce costs, improve service quality and
facilitate the treatment to the patient, it also faces many technical
and administrative obstacles (Upkar Varshney, 2003), such as resistance
to change and significant changes in technology and systems.
Mobile Health (mHealth) is the practice of medicine and public health
supported by mobile devices. It is referenced by the use of mobile
communication devices, such as mobile phones, tablet computers or
patient monitors, for health services and information. mHealth
generally covers the use of mobile telecommunication and multimedia
technologies as they are integrated within increasingly wireless and
mobile health care delivery systems being them the main support of
pervasive healthcare.
The book topics may be addressed from multiple angles having as main
focus the Next-Generation Mobile and Pervasive Healthcare Solutions.
Accordingly, it will be of relevance to both practitioners and
researchers from various disciplines including, but not limited to,
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Information Systems,
Pervasive and Mobile Computing, Medicine, Biomedical Engineering,
Multimedia, and Decision Support Systems.
Objective
The main goal of this book is moving theory into practice by linking
academic and informatics researchers with health care professionals
disseminating and exchanging knowledge, information and technology
provided by the international medical and health informatics
communities throughout the 21st century.
This book will present important achievements in a full range of health
delivery settings, providing decision support anywhere and anytime to
acute and long term health care taking as based pervasive or mobile
computing.
The mission of this book is promoting the cross-fertilization of health
informatics information and knowledge across professional and
geographical boundaries, serving as the catalyst for ubiquitous
worldwide health information infrastructures for patient care and
health research.
Target Audience
Scientifically this book intends to disseminate a set of new knowledge
useful to promote health care quality in the patient best interest by
presenting new multimedia solutions able to support the decision making
anywhere and anytime.
It is expected that this book can induce a strong impact in the health
care institutions bringing a set of new and innovative solutions to the
community.
This book explores a new information concept where the technologies are
omnipresent and the data appear anywhere and anytime promoting a full
interaction between the physicians, nurses, patients and information
systems.
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and
researchers working in the field of healthcare and information systems.
Moreover, the book will provide insights and decision support knowledge
achieved with the development of mobile and pervasive healthcare
solutions.
