Abstract
Various personal health systems have been applied in pervasive health monitoring, in which the need for patient involvement and self-management support with appropriate health information management tools has been highlighted. This paper presents a novel approach towards constructing a personalized mobile system, introduced as add-on to existing remote monitoring systems, for the management of health information by the patient himself/herself, with a Personal Health Record (PHR) constituting the system backbone. Particular emphasis is given to interconnection aspects with the monitoring system, so as to enable enhanced customization and management of monitoring-driven information provided to the patients according to their requirements/preferences. Communication issues between the monitoring and the proposed system are handled by using well-defined Web service interfaces for data exchange. Our prototype implementation, along with an application scenario presented, illustrate the applicability and virtue of the current work.
