Design of a Robust u-Healthcare System based on Internet of Things

Abstract

The efficieny and effectivity of u-healthcare systems relies on the robustness of both its hardware and software components. The efficient implementation of ubiquitous sensor networks powered by robust wireless communication technologies creating an Internet of Things (IoT), strengthens the delivery of real-time and robust healthcare system to its users. This paper deals with the application of context aware technology for an effective analysis of physiological information collected by various bio-sensors deployed in the healthcare facility environment covered by the u-healthcare system. The transmission of health information among sensors and mobile devices is then supported by the Fast Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (FMIPv6). This is to ensure the seamless and uniterrupted delivery of health information, thus, ensuring the real-time facilitation of healthcare services.
