Internet of Things (IoT) for U-healthcare Convergence Application

The IoT plays an important role in healthcare applications, from managing chronic diseases at one end of the spectrum to preventing disease at the other. IoT aims to provide means to access and control all kinds of ubiquitous and uniquely identifiable devices, facilities and assets. In this paper we discussed the background of Internet of Things (IoT) and its application to u-healthcare. This study aims to make mobile device gateway an integrated gateway which supports heterogeneous devices for u-healthcare convergence.
