Advances in pervasive health

Pervasive Health seeks to harness developments in pervasive computing
technologies and harness them in the health domain. This domain may be
interpreted in its widest possible sense, including the medical aspect both physical
and mental, but also that of care management, education, community and
occupational health. Such is the potential of pervasive computing technologies
that the domain of pervasive health itself may ultimately fracture into a number of
specialised domains, as the potential of the technology is being increasingly
realised in practice. Indeed, this is already occurring with increased research
activity being directed towards Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) in response to
ongoing societal aging patterns
