Pervasive or Ubiquitous Healthcare?
Abstract
Even if pervasive healthcare is in the phase of being consolidated as a new research dis-cipline as stated by Bardram [1] there are still some aspects of it that remain am-biguous to the research community. For example, the indistinct use of the terms “ubiquitous ” and “pervasive ” as synonyms may not be only a matter of terminology but a matter of helping to set the future di-rection of the field; the shift from technol-ogy towards users-centric models that in one hand is a common claim on pervasive healthcare developments but in the other is not fulfilled by lack of involvement of real users in experiments; the boundaries of the

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
