Abstract

Utilizing information and communications (ICT) technologies for healthcare and medical purposes has obtained a lot of interest and attention during the recent years. All over the world, in Europe, Asia and the USA, several universities, research institutes and companies have contributed via numerous programs, collaborations, and projects for the topic. This paper gives a collage of the latest interests in the research of the field carried out by the Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC), University of Oulu, Finland. We are also summarizing our views of the future development in this very important field. Wireless technology will be one of the key elements when improving safety and effectiveness of healthcare processes in its different application sectors.
