This research aimed to improve the fault tolerance of healthcare services provided for Chronic Heart Disease (CHD) patients living in remote areas. A new fault-tolerant mHealth framework was proposed to solve existing problems in healthcare services due to frequent failures in the telemedicine architecture. This study used an experimental research design that was carried out based on two stages. In the first stage, the researcher proposed a new algorithm known as Three-level Localization Triage (3LLT) to exclude the triage process from a medical center (Tier 3) and to overcome alarm failures related to Tier 1. In the second stage, the proposed framework was used to assist the decision maker to make the appropriate hospital selection based on a Multi-Criteria Decision Making technique, namely the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Two datasets were used comprising a dataset of 572 CHD patients and a dataset of hospitals healthcare services, which were used in the triage stage .....
