Abstract :
Summary form only given. In ubiquitous computing, context-aware user profile can enhance the efficiency of eHealth systems. In this paper, we present a middleware-based architecture that uses location to enhance services that can be offered to patients. The middleware architecture integrates three types of data which include vital signs, patient´s profile and location in order to provide remote and continuous health monitoring. It also offers relevant location based health services (LBHS).
