Overview
Pervasive healthcare is the conceptual system of providing healthcare to anyone, at anytime, and anywhere by removing restraints of time and location while increasing both the coverage and the quality of healthcare. Pervasive Healthcare Computing is at the forefront of this research, and presents the ways in which mobile and wireless technologies can be used to implement the vision of pervasive healthcare. This vision includes prevention, healthcare maintenance and checkups; short-term monitoring (home healthcare), long-term monitoring (nursing home), and personalized healthcare monitoring; and incidence detection and management, emergency intervention, transportation and treatment. The pervasive healthcare applications include intelligent emergency management system, pervasive healthcare data access, and ubiquitous mobile telemedicine. Pervasive Healthcare Computing includes the treatment of several new wireless technologies and the ways in which they will implement the vision of pervasive healthcare.

Aus den Rezensionen: ... 'Pervasive Healthcare Computing' ist ubersichtlich gegliedert wie eine Vorlesung und basiert tatsachlich auf einer Lehrveranstaltung ... Am Ende jedes Kapitels steht ein Fragebogen, mit dem der Leser seine gerade erworbenen Kenntnisse uberprufen kann. ... Geschickt fuhrt der Autor den Leser an die komplizierte Materie einer IT/Medizintechnik heran, die den gesamten Alltag der Menschen durchdringt. Varshney beschrankt sich dabei nicht nur auf das heute technisch Machbare, sondern zeigt auch zukunftige Entwicklungen auf und spricht die Probleme an, die es noch zu losen gilt ! (in: EhealthCom, 2009, Issue 5, S. 71)
