An Awareness Framework for Agent-Based Mobile Health Monitoring

One of significant contributions in medical information technology is the design and implementation of e-health solutions, which provide patients with mobile services to support and optimize their treatment based on the monitoring of certain physiological parameters. This category of e-health is called mobile health monitoring. Although the mobile wireless technologies are now commercially available, there is a need for a computational framework to integrate the technology with the needs of mobile health monitoring. In this paper, we propose a Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) based technique called awareness modeling to realize the awareness of human roles involved in mobile health monitoring activities using software agents.
