The present paper studies the prospective and the performance of a forthcoming high-speed third-generation (3.5G) networking technology, called Enhanced Uplink, in collaboration with the well known wireless sensor technology, for delivering electronic health (e-health) pervasive applications. The performance of the sensor network along with the 3.5G network is a critical factor for successful development of e-health services perceived by end-users. In this paper, we propose a methodology for performance assessment based on the joint uplink transmission of voice, realtime video, biological data, such us electrocardiogram, vital signals and heart sounds. Various scenarios were concerned for homecare patient applications in terms of real-time and non-realtime in random locations, where no other system but 3.5G is available. The accomplishment of quality of service (QoS) was explored through the delay and the jitter of the networks' parameters, attributing the joint network system for best performance in the context of the desired e-health services.
