The steady progress of microelectronics, communications and information technology will enable the realisation of the vision for "ubiquitous computing" where the Internet extends into the real world embracing everyday objects. The necessary technical basis is already in place. Due to their diminishing size, constantly falling price and declining energy consumption, processors, communications modules and sensors are being increasingly integrated into everyday objects today. This development is opening up huge opportunities for both the economy and individuals. In the present paper we discuss possible applications, but also technical, social and economic barriers to a wide-spread use of ubiquitous computing in the health care sector.
微电子、通信和信息技术的稳步发展将使“普适计算”的愿景得以实现，即互联网延伸到现实世界，涵盖日常物品。必要的技术基础已经具备。由于处理器、通信模块和传感器的尺寸不断减小、价格持续下降以及能耗不断降低，如今它们正越来越多地集成到日常物品中。这一发展为经济和个人都带来了巨大机遇。在本文中，我们讨论了普适计算在医疗保健领域广泛应用的可能应用，以及技术、社会和经济障碍。
