Abstract :
In this article, we introduce a novel remote health monitoring (RHM) system to enable high-quality pervasive healthcare services to users with low delivery delay and reduced costs. We define the RHM architecture and summarize the design considerations. We then present a promising commercialized solution, ViiCare, with system infrastructures and supporting techniques. We also discuss future research challenges for implementing RHM systems.
