With skyrocketing costs due to the increase in the elderly
population, a rapid increase in lifestyle-related and chronic
diseases, demand for new medical treatments and technologies, and a
shortage in the number of available clinicians, nurses, and other
caregivers, the challenges facing the healthcare industry seem
insurmountable. However, by transforming the current model into a
more distributed and highly responsive healthcare processing model,
patients can take control of their own health in the form of
wellness management, preventive care, and proactive intervention.
Pioneering the concepts of this newly emerging field, Pervasive
Computing in Healthcare provides an introduction to and is the
first known comprehensive resource on the application of pervasive
computing in healthcare. The book begins with an overview of
healthcare, diseases, disabilities, and computer science
principles. It describes challenges in using computers in large,
modern hospitals, how current software and hardware technology is
evolving to meet these challenges, and new pervasive technologies
for people with cognitive disabilities. Identifying the main usage
models and applications for mobile and personal health, the book
explores sensors and wearable technologies. It also examines
current research in assistive technologies, challenges associated
with human factors and the usability of healthcare systems, and
methods for technology innovation. The book concludes by presenting
user evaluations with a special focus on real-world deployment and
assessment of the technology. Pervasive healthcare is an exciting
emerging research area that is bound to play an important role in
an increasingly aging society. Providing a solid foundation on
which current and future researchers and practitioners can build
and use to further their endeavours, Pervasive Computing in
Healthcare addresses a set of related technologies and concepts
that help integrate healthcare more seamlessly
