Proceedings of "The 2nd International Conference on Applied Information and Communications Technology" - ICAICT 2014 © Elsevier Publications 2014 The Evolution in Health Care with Information and Communication Technologies Kashif Naseer Qureshi*,Abdul Hanan Abdullah,Raja Waseem Anwar Faculty of Computing, University Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 Skudai, Johor Bahru, Malaysia kashifnq@gmail.com Abstract The recent advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) enabled the design and proliferation of health systems. The systems are capable to autonomously monitoring vital sign-related data of patients provides continuously interaction between patients and doctors. These technologies are emerging with zeal of patient, and doctors' satisfaction. In this paper, we have focused on wireless technologies, which are exploring the health sector such as wireless body sensor network, Wi-Fi, RFID, and WiMax. We also compare these technologies in health care system with quality of service parameters such as jitter, end-to-end delay and throughput. Keywords:WBSN, WiMAX, WiFi, Healthcare 1. Introduction The wireless technologies have a great potential to support medical applications for real time patient monitoring and sustainable development. The health care services have been faced many challenges and medical errors like partial coverage, cost, considerable stress, provision of quality in services are significant issues for policy makers, healthcare providers, hospital and patients. One of the main challenge is how to provide better medical services to patients using limited human and financial resources. The new and promising wireless technologies could improve the quality in health care services [1-2]. These emerging communication technologies are used in various different types of applications in health sector such as blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, heart rate monitoring etc. Some applications are very critical in nature and need to forward real time information to doctors * Corresponding author.
