Abstract
In this paper we present an e-Health framework model that can dynamically provide context-aware multimedia services to a user. The framework collects live user context by analyzing sensory data obtained from a body sensor network and multimedia content available from live heterogeneous Internet-based services. Finally, we share the implementation details and test results.
