Abstract

In order to improve health care services, administrations need to deploy a variety of channels for service delivery -channels that allow users to consume their services anytime, anywhere and anyhow. This work proposes a system architecture that benefits from new computing paradigms such as wireless and mobile technology for improving benefits to the parties involved in e-health management including patients, citizens, health institutions and related governmental health units. The proposed platform is based on the concept of socio-cognitive grids and the need of transformation of the existing internetworking and web technologies into a resource pool that will be accessible by anyone, at anytime, and from everywhere in support of their needs. This platform intends to create the essential infrastructure for the provisioning of health and social services to individuals that receive residential care using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks over Internet, GSM and PSTN networks.
