Transforming Healthcare through Life-Long Personal Digital Footprints

摘要

This paper presents a virtual eHealth journal and analysis system for connected health. Traditional patient attributes are complemented with a broader spectrum of health indicator data from normal daily activities. Core to the system is a cloud-based federation architecture and its implementation, providing 24/365 continuous monitoring, capturing, and storage of each individual human user's lifelog data. Privacy, security, compliance, availability, scalability, and performance are key design requirements, and our connected health solution includes analysis software running local to private data, enabling users to better self-manage their care. Individual and privately managed user data can also be contributed to research projects for the common good.
