Ubiquitous Health Care Framework for the Rural African Environment

With the advancement of technology and telecommunication, ICT is in a position to play a major role in Public Health planning, disease eradication and containment. The introduction of Ubiquitous computing into the health care system will ensure that patient data is readily available to those authorized and can be collected and analyzed in real time. In this paper we designed and developed a Ubiquitous health care framework that is best suited for developing African states that will assist in health care planning, collection and management of patient records, decision and basic diagnostic support. The system proposed looks at all aspects of public health and envisages to integrate them into one.
