Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health care will evolve as new technologies are adopted. Even if it is difficult to predict what the future hospital will be, aspects such as context awareness will help health care professionals to shift part of their activities to machines. Reinvention of health care is complex. Improving the quality of healthcare and the prospects of "aging in place" using wireless sensor technology requires solving difficult problems in scale, energy management, data access, security, and privacy. Recent developments of information technologies are leading the advent of the era of ubiquitous healthcare, which means healthcare services at any time and at any places.
