Ubiquitous-Healthcare based on Medical Device Communication Framework and PLC

A ubiquitous healthcare service based on a medical device communication framework ISO11073 and PLC (Power Line Communication) was studied, considering the ubiquitous computing and networking environment. We introduce the USN for e-healthcare service in smart environments. Beyond e-healthcare service, as an application for u(ubiquitous)-healthcare service with USN including PLC technology, we implemented the real-time health-monitoring service with a cost-effective Web server. We introduce the u-healthcare service based on the framework ISO11073/IEEE1073 (i.e. X73) with PLC technology for sink node or gateway without power limitation in USN environments.
