Abstract :
Ubiquitous healthcare systems have the potential to provide cheaper and smarter ways to manage and care for patients suffering from age-related chronic diseases. In the ubiquitous healthcare system (U- healthcare system), sensor devices for measuring a bio signal or environment information may communicate with the mobile system for collecting bio signals and environment information by wireless personal area network(WPAN) such as ZigBee. Zigbee device in WPAN needs a specific function for U-healthcare application. We propose a dynamic management method and a healthcare profile for U-healthcare system.
