A 3G/WiFi-enabled 6LoWPAN-based u-healthcare system for ubiquitous real-time monitoring and data logging

Ubiquitous healthcare (U-healthcare) systems are expected to offer flexible and resilient high-end technological solutions enabling remote monitoring of patients health status in real-time and provisioning of feedback and remote actions by healthcare providers. In this paper, we present a 6LowPAN ba...
