Research Question
1. How the mobile and web service has provided solutions for issues with remote health
monitoring in healthcare centers?
Case study Discussion
With the increasing number of ill people, there is a need of remote monitoring for the
heath care centers. There are people in remote areas having heart disease and many other
diseases and with the present telemedicine solution that helps to monitor the patient remotely.
With the application of diagnosis that are done remotely and monitoring system, the health care
services have improved. Mobile health has provided opportunities for patients to take remote
monitoring services from the health care centers. With mobile devices the cost of health check
has also decreased and that has benefitted the healthcare centers and patients as well. Healthcare
centers are facing problems to maintain wide number of resources and this mobile services and
web services is profitable for the healthcare centers.

In this article, the system for remote monitoring has been used with IoT and that has
provided advantages in the system of health monitoring for the patients. In this article, the author
has stated that the health of the patient has been monitored with sensor or can be monitored by
using sensors with patient’s body. All the sensors used for monitoring are connected together in
the form of wireless sensors which is further connected with cloud. This article has explained the

remote monitoring system in detailed along with the three layer architecture that is used in the
wireless system for monitoring. As per the article, the medical professionals can predict the types
of disease and instruct the patients to take preventive measure to cure those diseases.

In this article, the author have stated that with the increasing demand for the mobile
health care, the approach of traditional diagnosis has become insufficient. Mobile service for
health and web service included in health care centers has provided low cost medical services to
the patients and has also reduced the burden of health care centers. With mobile and web service,
the doctors can implement regular monitoring along with remote diagnosis at any time. This
paper proposes remote monitoring system that is capable of providing pervasive as well as
provides continuous monitoring for the patients. This article has also provided a multi-layer
architecture that is based on the mobile as well as web services. This article has also explained
the localization method that is used for meeting the requirement of the emergency situations.
There are also some limitation provided in the article that states why mobile devises and web
service is not good for health care industry and the difficulties that are faced by the users while
using them.
