Abstract

Modern smartphones and tablet PCs provide connections to the Internet via cellular networks or Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). The same devices also provide several wireless interfaces, such as Bluetooth for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). These interfaces create many novel possibilities for Mobile Health or Telehealth application developers to create systems providing versatile and adaptive environment for health monitoring and assisted living. In this paper, we provide a literature review based comparative analysis of current state-of-the-art mobile health applications and services. In addition, we propose and implement a mobile health platform, Smart Environment for Assisted Living (SEAL), in which smart home and mobile health functionalities are integrated into an open and adaptive Platform. The main attributes of our novel SEAL Platform are adaptivity, user-centered design, accessibility, transparency, safety, security, and privacy. Moreover, we will present some new ideas that will be used in our future research work.
