Electronic Prescriptions: A Ubiquitous Solution using Jini

Ubiquitous computing has thus far not touched the realm of electronic prescriptions. This paper describes a Jini-based solution for electronic prescriptions, which allows for their wireless transmission to inrange pharmacies and the augmentation of the service levels rendered to the user, with, for instance, information about queue lengths and estimated waiting times being provided to patients. Clinical evaluation of the prototype has highlighted general consensus in respect of its effectiveness, ease of use and usefulness.
