Abstract

The wired Internet has influenced many areas in human society, especially the speed of knowledge and information exchange; the mobile Internet is affecting much more in pervasive computing environment and will introduce many special applications like health-care based on the wireless health-monitoring network. We considered the mobile Internet for the real-time health-monitoring network for the disabled and elderly people as inexpensive and effective system, especially with health-monitoring mobile devices. We studied the Web-based health information network, and discuss the empirical results about performance with emulated model considering the implementation with the real-time information Web server for the disabled and elderly people.
