Abstract
In recent years context-aware applications have emerged on smart devices and have become a new development trend. Context-aware applications allow for users to adapt to an ever-changing environment and also enhance interaction between users and their mobile devices. In the field of health care, along with the vigorous development of science and technology and especially the Internet, wireless mobile devices have changed the delivery of health care services from “brick & mortar medical facilities” to an “anywhere, anytime” service model.
This paper proposes a framework for the application of contextual healthcare on mobile devices with the idea of providing health care “anywhere – anytime”. The aim is to improve health care service by enabling them to become easily accessible with the result being a higher quality of life for all users up to and including the saving of lives.
