A novel context-aware system to support healthcare environments

摘要

The possibility of offering information and functionality to users based on their context and needs represents an advantage of current technology. However, context-aware systems can be improved by extending the level of customization. Targeting on healthcare environments, this paper presents a solution, named Ubi4Health, which generates a new context-aware ecosystem for the daily life of medical staff, patients and care-home residents. Regardless of where the user is, the solution adapts the user experience, offering the appropriate interaction mechanism, interface and device at all times. In this sense, Ubi4Health provides users with the required tool in the appropriate way.
