Abstract
Telemedicine has been practiced for many years, but is still not pervading for many barriers. Neither the technology breaks limitations nor the medical support integrated into a network. Nevertheless, mobile telemedicine is the current trend for the mobility and portability surpassing the traditional telemedicine from equipment to deployment. Mobile Care, the designed system, has been introduced by using mobile devices and wireless network to collaborate scattered medical resources. We are discussing several issues related to the concepts of medical grid and mobile network, illustrating the architectures with several applications. We expect to lead significant outcome of considerate care on economic basis to support health care at anytime from anywhere.
