Abstract
In recent years, scholarly research on the use of new technology in healthcare has intensified. Some of the main challenges identified in the literature include the integration of dissimilar signaling systems, network barriers such as bandwidth allocation, battery life in wireless devices, the security and privacy protection associated with data transmission using public network and the user friendliness of the systems, among others. The aim of this paper is to address some of the above concerns by introducing a secure, multiplatform network system capable of providing the dynamic bandwidth allocation required for today’s home healthcare services. It incorporates a user friendly interface by introducing a unique instrument integrated with the community cloud arrangement to provide a more robust system to address the needs of multiple stakeholders.
