Abstract Mobilehealth(m-health)systemarchitecturesaretypicallybasedonmobile and wireless communications, and use mobile devices with data exchange supported by Web Services (WS). Although m-health systems offer mobility as a potential and precious resource they also present several challenged issues and constraints, such as, battery and storage capacity, broadcast constraints, interferences, disconnections, noises, limited bandwidths, and network delays. Furthermore, constant mobility and often-required Internet connectivity also exposes and compromises the privacy and con?dentiality of the m-health system information. This paper proposes a novel dat
