Utility Grid Computing and Body Area Network as Enabler for Ubiquitous Rural e-Healthcare Service Provisioning

摘要: Body area network (BAN) has the potential to revolutionalize healthcare management by allowing use of innovative smart sensors for remote diagnosis, treatment and continuous monitoring a patient's body conditions. However, there are many challenges such as low bandwidth, limited computational power functionality communication with wireless sensor networks. On other hand, utility grid computing (UGC) is rich in functionality, can be used provide access appropriate services give high-bandwidth large collection distributed time-varying resources. This paper describes an integrated UGC-BAN technology enabler ubiquitous service provisioning. would help addressing accessibility quality costs provisioning rural communities developing countries.
