Device profile: Mobile devices vary widely in terms of their capabilities and form factors. In ubiquitous
healthcare systems, a mobile device could be the terminal available to health professionals or patients.
A device profile includes available processing power, memory size, storage space, display area size, embedded
devices (such as cameras, GPS, accelerometer). In mobile health monitoring, some basic data analysis
can be performed at the patient’s side (if the mobile device has enough resources) in order to detect immediate
and life-threatening situations. Knowing the device profile enables healthcare systems to determine
where data processing can be carried out.
