The problem addressed in this study is how to improve the access of homecare workers to information and to the other workers in the Saskatoon District Health using mobile devices. We propose an architecture, which offers the functionality of electronic health records and supports collaborative activities. Several typical tasks are supported: retrieving information from the system, notification for plan -or schedule- related changes, entering new data in the health records and communicating with other workers. Our approach focuses on optimizing information presentation and the selection of output channels based on the availability of the resources and knowledge about the context of the worker, e.g. the physical location, and the "activeness" of the device.
