Research Directions for Cyber Physical Systems in Wireless and Mobile Healthcare

Wireless and mobile healthcare systems are proliferating. Many of these systems are Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). However, the complexities involved in building healthcare systems often go beyond those CPS systems that are constructed using principles from physics and other natural physical sciences. In healthcare CPSs, complex human physiology and free will, both of which are person dependent, are paramount. These complexities give rise to many new research problems for CPS. This article highlights some of the major new research questions and promising directions for wireless and mobile healthcare CPSs of the future.
