Exploiting Mobile Computing in Health-care

The dynamicity and variability of context and conditions make this environment very suitable for the use of mobile and wearable computing techniques. The use of small and portable devices can be very beneficial in terms of efficiency and vital support to patients. However, the many challenges that this environment presents need to be addressed, possibly by a general mobile computing framework that could be used in different mobile settings. We will discuss these issues in the paper along with the description of the prototype we have developed.
