Abstract
We have already moved away from traditional desktop-based computer technologies towards ubiquitous computing environments that progressively exist in our daily activity. This chapter introduces the concept of ubiquitous computing in the domain of healthcare as well as the prevalent technology its implementation depends on. This technology, named context-awareness, and a generic system for its realization are comprehensively described. Furthermore, the authors outline the main services that a context-aware system can provide and concluding they discuss the impact of ubiquitous computing in the healthcare domain. The authors aim at providing an overview of the technological proceedings in this area and through this understanding assist researchers to their brainstorming.
