Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing
on the development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous
computing technology for healthcare and wellness. Pervasive
healthcare seeks to respond to a variety of pressures on healthcare
systems, including the increased incidence of life-style related
and chronic diseases, emerging consumerism in healthcare, need for
empowering patients and relatives for self-care and management of
their health, and need to provide seamless access for healthcare
services, independent of time and place. Pervasive healthcare may
be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development and
application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing,
ambient intelligence) technologies for healthcare, health and
wellness management. Second, it seeks to make healthcare available
to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and
other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of
healthcare. This book proposes to define the emerging area of
pervasive health and introduce key management principles, most
especially knowledge management, its tools, techniques and
technologies. In addition, the book takes a socio-technical,
patient-centric approach which serves to emphasize the importance
of a key triumvirate in healthcare management namely, the focus on
people, process and technology. Last but not least the book
discusses in detail a specific example of pervasive health, namely
the potential use of a wireless technology solution in the
monitoring of diabetic patients.
