Abstract

The advancement of available, portable, low cost handheld devices (PDAs, cell phones, etc.), bluetooth, and WiFi has resulted in the users' mobility at unprecedented levels. As these devices can communicate with one another, the combined capabilities can be leveraged to form a useful new set of tools. Presently, pervasive computing is being extended into the sophisticated healthcare sector with the promise of providing an easier and more efficient mode of communication among healthcare professionals. In this paper, we present the details of our application `Healthcare Aide', which has been designed to provide not only more convenience for doctor-doctor, resident doctor-doctor, patient-doctor and nurse-doctor interaction but also a smooth pathway for real-time decision making along with survey results from users' point view and performance analysis. Our pervasive middleware MARKS (middleware adaptability for resource discovery, knowledge usability and self-healing) provides the underlying support for `Healthcare Aide' in a completely transparent manner

医疗保健助手:面向使用普及中间件的医生的虚拟助手

可用的、便携的、低成本的手持设备(pda、手机等)、蓝牙和WiFi的进步使用户的移动性达到了前所未有的水平。由于这些设备可以相互通信，因此可以利用组合的功能来形成一组有用的新工具。目前，普适计算正在扩展到复杂的医疗保健领域，有望在医疗保健专业人员之间提供更简单、更有效的通信模式。在本文中，我们介绍了我们的应用程序“Healthcare Aide”的细节，该应用程序的设计不仅为医生与医生、住院医生与医生、病人与医生以及护士与医生的互动提供了更多的便利，而且还为实时决策提供了一条畅通的途径，同时还提供了来自用户观点和性能分析的调查结果。我们的普及中间件MARKS(用于资源发现、知识可用性和自我修复的中间件适应性)以完全透明的方式为“Healthcare Aide”提供底层支持
