Modeling Personalized and Context-Aware Multimedia e-Health Framework

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The term context-aware e-Health system is coined with the vision that each person is surrounded by a smart space, which will be able to identify him/her in home or outdoor, recognize his/her actions, emotions, intentions, physiological activities, and health conditions and assist the person according to his/her individual preferences and needs, anytime and anywhere. Hence, e-Health related research has been a center point of many entities such as government, research institution, medical hardware and software industry, and healthcare institutions. This is because context-aware e-Health research domain offers high quality of healthcare by leveraging recent advancements in multidisciplinary research domains such as wireless sensors, smartphones, high speed body area networking and mobile communication (3.5/4G). For example, various wired or wireless sensors can capture different vital phenomena such as heart beat rate, blood pressure, glucose level, and sweat condition; activities such as walking, sleeping, driving, falling, running, talking, and in a conversation; environmental parameters such as humidity, temperature, location, altitude etc.
