Abstract

Ubiquitous health (u-Health) system is focused on the concept of providing medical service and assistance to the patients “anywhere and anytime” regardless of their locations. Existing mobile u-Healthcare systems have problems in lacking one or the other S.C.A.L.E. (Scalability, Connectivity, Adaptability, Liability, and Ease-of-use) criterion that any ubiquitous system must support. They become expensive during set up, reconfiguration, and modification as no proper and efficient solution is available. Also, they lack security, privacy, and wireless accessibility features so all these problems can prevent the system from being expanded widely. The objective of this paper is to implement a u-Healthcare system based on wireless mobile technology using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Applying Service Governance of Service Oriented Architecture helps make all services more secure, reusable, interoperable, available, and imposes all the features a ubiquitous system should have. A prototype system uSG-Health was developed using the approach for demonstrating the functionality and ability of the proposed u-Healthcare system.
