A PHR Front-End System with the Facility of Data Migration from Printed Forms

摘要

Systems for PHR (Personal Health Record) data management are expected to be supplemental infrastructure for improving health care environment in addition to the improvement of medical care environment. One of the major issues in current PHR environment is that only a very limited data is distributed from hospital or medical institution to citizens as electric data; most of the data is still distributed as printed document. In this paper, we propose a PHR system which enables to migrate from PHR data of printed document to the database by photography. Since it is estimated to take years to offer full electric data distribution online, we think this is one of the practical solutions for the issue. In addition to this feature, we designed the user interface suitable for touch panel display for more intuitive data manipulation. The result of preliminary user test showed the proposed system is more preferable for users.
