Abstract
Ubiquitous healthcare is introduced in terms of technology and service, considering the current technology as well as the future technology and services. In the first section, we introduce the key techniques of ubiquitous healthcare for next-generation medical treatment services. In the second section, we introduce the wireless sensor network (WSN) and ANTS (an Evolvable Network of Tiny Sensors). In the last section, we discuss real-time health-monitoring network for the disabled and elderly people using an inexpensive and effective Web server and health-monitoring sensors in a wrist phone.
