Abstract

This paper proposes a u-Healthcare system that can perceive emergency situations in chronic hypertension patients and initiate emergency action. The proposed system considers patient mobility and integrates a medical recommendations knowledge base and communication protocols between system agents in an RFID and Cell phone architecture. A comparison and analysis of the proposed system and the operational characteristics of an implemented system is provided. The proposed system can supply information to assist patients in normal health management as well as emergency situations.
