A Wireless System for Secure Electronic Healthcare Records Management

Abstract

Recent advances in wireless computing and in the hardware of wireless devices has opened new directions in many domains; for example in the medical domain the medical personnel in hospitals is able to use wireless devices to gain ubiquitous access to medical related information. However the sensitivity of medical related data poses many challenges in the effort to securely manage these data. In this paper the authors present an agent based architecture for efficient management of medical data. The authors present the security choices and also provide experimental details about the flexibility of our approach.
