Pervasive healthcare, based on WSN, is an emerging technology area with great potential of future applicability. Small size devices capable of sensing, computing and communicating, enable pervasive platforms; while opening up the large number of technical, medical, social and ethical questions and challenges. Though mostly focused on technical issues, this chapter also addresses some non-technical aspects implied by the technology implementation in medicine. It presents the general philosophy of the pervasive computing and technical design space of wireless sensor networks, mostly highlighting: the energy conservation, communication aspects, security, and software implementation. The state of the art in ubiquitous healthcare, challenges, open questions, as well as the non-technical aspects of the systems implementation are also presented here. As such, this chapter intends to give an insight on most important WSN-based pervasive computing issues, the multidisciplinary application-driven design of these systems, and their position in healthcare pervasive computing.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/japuc.2010070101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,7]],"date-time":"2010-09-07T22:49:33Z","timestamp":1283899773000},"page":"1-20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Sensor Networks in Pervasive Healthcare Computing"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Zhilbert","family":"Tafa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Belgrade University, Serbia"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"japuc.2010070101-0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adhoc.2008.06.003"},{"key":"japuc.2010070101-1","unstructured":"Bardram, J., & Christensen, H.
