Cloud-based platform for personalization in a wellness management ecosystem: Why, what, and how

摘要

Offering personalized services through dynamically formed ecosystems is essential to personal wellness management. In this paper, we present the design of a cloud-enabled platform to facilitate the collection and delivery of evidence for personalization in a multi-provider ecosystem environment. In addition, the platform also provides essential building blocks of personalization services: smarter analytics for active personalization and dynamic provisioning. While the former common service takes charge of inferring user wellness risks from multiple data sources on the fly and making risk-driven recommendations, the latter common service determines optimal platform pricing and resource allocation given the constraint of acceptable quality of service.
