Abstract :
This work is intended for use by patients who are using various health promotion systems in homes, fitness centers and hospitals, for exercise and nutrition control. Before and after use, these patients need some common platform to communicate with these systems and their respective medical experts for various information needs. They also need some easy way for continuous feedback on their health status, counseling and motivation for adherence to their respective health promotion program. From the perspective of a medical expert, they need an efficient way of monitoring their patients, and delivering timely feedback and advice to them. Information systems of concerned centers need to have timely information of every stage of a complete study starting from patient´s reservation to their results delivery. In this paper we present a ubiquitous health promotion system (uHPS) that can address issues spanning multiple areas of health promotion, and it includes diverse kinds of equipments which might be geographically distributed.
