Abstract:

This paper explores the rapidly evolving field of pervasive computing in healthcare, underscoring its revolutionary impact and the accompanying challenges. Pervasive computing is distinguished by its omnipresent nature, effortlessly blending into the healthcare setting to provide innovative solutions for patient care, disease management, and healthcare service delivery. The study delves into the latest developments in wearable technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven analytics. Collectively, these technological advancements contribute to improved patient outcomes and heightened operational efficiency within healthcare systems. The paper critically examines the various challenges accompanying pervasive computing implementation in healthcare. Key among these challenges are concerns regarding data security and privacy, given the sensitive nature of health-related information. Ethical issues, such as patient consent and the potential for technology to exacerbate existing healthcare disparities, are also considered. Also, healthcare professionals' and patients' acceptance of such technologies is explored, as it is crucial for successfully integrating pervasive computing into existing healthcare practices. This study employs a comprehensive approach to provide a thorough understanding of these dynamics, including an extensive review of existing literature, systematic analysis of current trends and practices, and empirical data. This multifaceted methodology offers valuable insights into the current state and likely future direction of pervasive computing in healthcare, highlighting its potential to revolutionize the field while acknowledging the significant hurdles that must be overcome to fully harness its benefits.
