Abstract
In recent years, there has been a great advancement in technology for wireless communication. This facilitates the availability of devices using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that allows other devices to exchange information and actions. Consequently, the paradigm of pervasive computing is increasingly present in several areas assisting to conduct various types of activities. Healthcare is one of the important sectors that benefits from this paradigm. The clinical monitoring associated with the control of Electronic Health Record from patients has the potential to offer better care for their health and improve their everyday life. This chapter presents a study about the use of the pervasive computing paradigm for health care through the development of a multiplatform tool for mobile devices.
