Ubiquitous healthcare refers to an emerging paradigm that is gradually reshaping the old "patient-seeing-doctor" scenario into one in which health services and information (e.g. clinical advices and warning, patient status monitoring and feedback, etc.) become just "one-click" away. At the heart of this envisioned "anywhere and anytime" healthcare is empowering miniature computing devices with the ability to acquire and understand data in a real-time and distributed environment, identify and locate other devices to work together by forming an ad-hoc network, and communicate with end-users in a human friendly fashion. While the advance in technology has prepared us with essential hardware (e.g. sensors, HCI devices, etc.), we are facing unprecedented challenges that are posed by the vast amount of data and the distributed nature of the new approach towards healthcare.
