Guidelines of data delivery scheme for healthcare applications on android platform

Abstract

This paper addresses guidelines of data delivery scheme on Android platform, allowing for security and transmission speed of data. Conventionally, smartphone-based healthcare application deals with individual private data such as lifelog. These need to be transmitted securely and processed through several 3rd party applications. Therefore, we analyze the Android platform from the perspectives of secure data transmission and fast data transmission. Firstly, we perform experimental test with practical lifelog data to evaluate proper data delivery scheme. Secondly, we analyze the each delivery methodologies and suggest guidelines for proper data delivery scheme enabling secure and fast data transmission. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
