The proliferation of mobile devices has led to their integration into a huge number assistive environments where they perform key role. Pervasive environments, built over wireless infrastructures, introduce new possibilities in the healthcare sector realizing anytime-anywhere access medical information paradigm. Towards this direction pervasive technology can be deployed such as home monitoring for elderly or patients. In paper we describe policy based architecture that utilizes software agents and sensor technologies enable remote patients people. We also discuss technical challenges which directed decisions with respect design our prototype architecture. These mainly focus on providing continuous feedback patient's condition, while transferring encrypted versions necessary accordance increased security privacy requirements. presented implementation advanced network management agent engineering order operate effectively, achieve interoperability through different modules comply imposed (by legislative framework)
