Abstract

The current trend towards long-term healthcare is accessing healthcare services in the ubiquitous environment instead of in care centers, hospitals or convalescent homes. Providing healthcare services to patients and elderly people has been an emerging application domain in ubiquitous computing technologies. The Web service event-condition-action (WS-ECA) framework is designed to enable the heterogeneous communication devices in ubiquitous computing environments to achieve inter-operability via event-driven coordination. This paper presents developing a WS-ECA framework for a healthcare robot platform to provide ubiquitous healthcare services while the robot moves around a patient or elderly people.
