| Abstract | Ubiquitous healthcare environments include technological facilities that offer to their users new possibilities of access and interaction, such as the access to patients' data by using a portable device. In Ubiquitous medicine, the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) includes a set of information about a patient that can be accessed anywhere, anytime and using any device. These environments need to support the healthcare professionals' mobility, since this feature is an inherent characteristic of the physicians' job. It is also important to consider that a physician activity is frequently interrupted, since they do not spend so much time in the same place, performing a unique activity. Therefore, mechanisms that help the continuity of the healthcare professional's activity tend to improve their productivity. Thus, this thesis presents UbiDoctor, a service-based middleware infrastructure aiming at supporting ubiquitous healthcare applications provided by three services: (i) session management, (ii) context management and (iii) content adaptation. These services allow that a user starts a session in a specific device and finishes his work in another one, without losing his data and saving his time. UbiDoctor services were also evaluated, according to specific quantitative and qualitative metrics, by a group of physicians from a private hospital at Recife, Pernambuco. The results presented in this thesis show that Ubidoctor may improve a physician ́s productivity, by offering him ubiquitous access to an EPR application, almost anytime, anywhere and via heterogeneous devices. |
