PEHS – Arquitetura de um Sistema de Informação Pervasivo para Auxílio às Atividades Clínicas

Abstract

In spite of the efficiency increasing in the access to patient information, electronic healthcare systems are rejected by the clinicians, because the dynamic characteristics of their activities are not adequately addressed by these systems. This paper presents the architecture of a pervasive healthcare system called pEHS, which uses concepts and technologies of ubiquitous computing to approach the computational systems to the way how the clinician conducts its activities. The requirements of pEHS are: adapted to the activities of medical professionals, personalization through composition/programming tasks, context awareness and pervasive access to the patient's health history.
