Recent advances in pervasive, low cost, wireless communication, embedded computing for sensor information processing, and medical informatics have enabled the development and first examples of "Wireless Health" and "TeleHealth". This new area is broadly defined as the use of personal communication technologies to provide and support individualized healthcare for patients in their home, workplace, and remote clinic environments.

This special issue seeks contribution from international community in the general scope of design and development of architectures, algorithms, protocols, and technology for pervasive wireless health.
