Abstract :
This paper surveys ongoing research for pervasive healthcare system development, highlights the associated technical challenges and outlines some possible future topics that require innovative research. We present a conceptual high level system overview for pervasive healthcare including a resource constrained architecture for extracting fetal electrocardiogram from maternal composite abdominal signal as a case study.
