Abstract :
In this paper we introduce the idea of realizing pervasive health care applications by tailoring the underlying hardware and software to the needs of this specific application. We illustrate the feasibility of our idea by discussing a generalized approach for combining different hardware components as well as a generalized approach for adapting specific software components.
