Abstract :
We are studying the process of accounting for context awareness for mobile information technology solutions in the healthcare sector. We consider the needs of context- aware information technology, its requirements and its delivery from intelligent and ubiquitous sensors through middleware. We discuss the state of the art and the processes that we deem important to advance the realization of powerful context-aware technology that offers new possibilities, services, and economies to the healthcare sector.
