Wireless information system for patient health care management

This paper builds effective wireless patient management system (WPMS) using open software that can be accessed via a personal digital assistance (PDA) or a cell phone. This allows health care professionals to gain access to patient information from anywhere at anytime. In this project, the wireless patient management system was built using Java technology. The client side was implemented using MIDlet and the server side was developed using Java servlets. A study was conducted to observe the effects of distance between client and server on the response time of a wireless versus wired connectivity. It was observed that the distance between the client and server does not have a significant impact on the response time of wired and wireless connectivity.
