Abstract— In this paper current 2G m-health system and its services and limitations in Bangladesh have been studied. Then the feasibility of the adaptation of newly emerged technology 4G especially WiMAX has been studied. Most of the population of Bangladesh is live in country side and aging problem becomes prominent day by day. 85% lands are affected with flood in frequent years. Still now the communication system is also very poor in rural remote area. The survey and study show that most of the medical facilities are urban concentrated. By expanding WiMAX services with video conferencing helps people to contact with experts in a moment but mental satisfaction not so good. Also the cost for compatible mobile phone set is high and to operate it with lacking of IT knowledge also faces difficulties. So, we find a near Pharmacy and Mobile charging point solution which shows cost effective and better IT expert solution.
Index Terms— Aged people, flood, lack of IT knowledge, m-health, per capita income, WiMAX.
