The architecture hence consists of four main domains that reflect the six dimensions: Stakeholders, pervasive health care applications, pervasive health care data provision and big data source. …show more content…

These stakeholders can be either data providers or users, depending on what context they provide and use data
Patient monitoring enables healthcare professionals to remotely monitor patient’s health condition. Location-based medical services enable pervasive healthcare service provider to track the location of the elderly or the mental health patients who are ambulatory but restricted to certain areas and to help patients locating the nearest healthcare facility.

Additionally, most systems will have more than one capability that provides value, so the relationship between the system’s functionality and the resulting impact to patient care must be analyzed in order to determine the value it provides (Einstein, Juzwishin, Kushniruk, & Nahm, 2011). Value of health information infrastructures can be assessed in many different ways, including whether the technology allows the availability of useful information, how that information is utilized by staff and patients, and its impact on health outcomes. For information to be of value and influence medical decision making, it must be comprehensive, accessible, useful, and valid (Fitterer, Mettler, Rohner, & Winter, 2011).
