Over a decade ago, while at the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), now known as the Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ), a vision was created by the author that projected two different concepts. One was the use of telemedicine in a homecare environment (in urban, suburban and rural areas) to offer particularly to the elderly population, suffering from a number of chronic...
People living in areas of the world that are affected by disease, famine, or poverty could have their lives drastically improved by currently available electronic technologies, but the cost, complexity and/or limited operating environments of devices which employ these technologies can make it impossible or impractical for many of those in-need populations to actually acquire and make use of them...
Nowadays, information systems combined with the Internet, have a significant role in data storage, as in the efficiency and promptness of data transfer and can offer a large contribute in managing and manipulating the information resulting from treatment and attendance of chronic patients, as hemophiliacs. On the other hand, the Internet also created the opportunity of patients to insert data concerning...
According to home healthcare requirement of chronic patients, this paper proposes a mobile-care system integrated with a variety of vital-sign monitoring, where all the front-end vital-sign measuring devices are portable and have the ability of short-range wireless communication. In order to make the system more suitable for home applications, the technology of wireless sensor network is introduced...
The rapid escalation of American health care costs compels a new approach to chronic disease. Personalizing chronic disease management can be improved by using biosensors and advanced communication technology. Recent advances in miniature wireless sensors supported by ubiquitous computing have fostered a growth of interest in wellness and illness management based on distributed sensor networks. A...

In response to an extended user needs analysis, a home telecare system designed for the management of patients with chronic disease was adapted for use in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). The system architecture and hardware and software components are described for both the client- and server-side. The client-side includes medication dispensing, scheduled clinical measurements and questionnaire...
Advances in sensor technology, personal mobile devices, and wireless broadband communications are enabling the development of an integrated personal mobile health monitoring system that can provide patients with a useful tool to assess their own health and manage their personal health information anytime and anywhere. Personal mobile devices, such as PDAs and mobile phones, are becoming more powerful...

The computerization of medical institutions as part of the social infrastructure is one of the priority elements referred to in the government's e-Japan strategy. The computerization of patient data is currently making progress, and these are being accumulated by medical institutions as massive volumes of patient data. In order to use these records effectively, therefore, medical institutions require...
The world has recently witnessed several large scale natural disasters. These include the Asian tsunami which devastated many of the countries around the rim of the Indian Ocean in December 2004, extensive flooding in many parts of Europe in August 2005, hurricane katrina (September 2005), the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in many regions of Asia and Canada in 2003 and the Pakistan...
