Abstract
Ubiquitous healthcare environments introduce technological facilities that give users new possibilities of access and interaction, as for example, the access to patients' information by using a portable device. These environments need to offer support for the professionals' mobility, since mobility is an inherent characteristic of physicians' job. In addition, it is important to consider that a physician activity is frequently interrupted during its execution because physicians do not spend a lot of time in the same place doing an activity. A middleware based service infrastructure, named UbiDoctor, was developed to support ubiquitous healthcare applications providing session management and content adaptation. This paper presents the first results for the test evaluation realized with UbiDoctor, which show that UbiDoctor can improve the physician productivity.
