TRUMP: A Trusted Mobile Platform for Self-management of Chronic Illness in Rural Areas

  • Conference paper
Trust and Trustworthy Computing (Trust 2013)

Abstract

Disease self-management interventions have the potential to greatly benefit both sufferers of chronic illnesses and healthcare providers in rural areas. In this paper, we discuss our vision for a trusted platform for delivering self-management interventions in rural areas of the UK and India using second-generation mobile devices, and outline the key trust and privacy challenges in realising such an infrastructure. We illustrate our discussion with an example depression intervention scenario, highlighting some progress to date, and our plans towards realising this architecture.
