Summary:
Healthcare is increasingly becoming a distributed service involving stakeholders and resources who may be physically far from each other. But privacy and security are potential problems. Patient's data should be available irrespective of their location, but only to authorized person. Not only that, the relationship between the person under observation and other related people, are different and the security and other characteristics concerning the data may also differ accordingly. In this paper we propose a system where an overlay network can be built in an ad hoc basis and links between different entities will be established according to the social relationship between the object person and the person at the other end and the situation of the observed person. Unlike traditional 24-hrs monitoring system, we argued that an ondemand, requirement oriented system will be beneficial for efficient resource utilization, specially in wireless communication.
