SUMMARY
Healthcare combined with mobility is a relatively new and upcoming area. New ways of handling the healthcare chain are needed to meet the new demands. In this paper we have studied a project that is trying to meet these new demands, the MobiHealth project. It is highly critical that the system is safe and reliable enough not to jeopardize the patient’s state of health. No system can be totally safe but we have studied what safety factors, methods and models there are to aid us during the development to achieve a safer solution. As a result of this thesis we have found a number of important safety factors to take into account when developing mobile healthcare systems.
