Abstract:
This paper
presents, about the Pervasive health systems concern the provision of
healthcare services to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing location, time
and other restraints, while increasing both their coverage and quality. Lately,
a number of such systems and tools have been demonstrated, focusing
particularly on health monitoring and information management by the patient
himself/herself. This notion of “self-management” has been associated with
efficient disease management, enhancing the patient’s role and participation in
healthcare services delivery. The patients’ central role in the management of
their health has been indicated by a number of educational programs aiming to
provide them with skills and knowledge, in order to cope with their diseases.
Especially, chronic patients may be benefited from self-management activities,
in terms of understanding better their disease, enhancing their communication
with their doctor, increasing their self-confidence, and so forth.
