Dynamic message server for personal health data transmission in u-health service environment

Abstract

As the social environment rapidly changes and health concerns increase, medical expenses have also been increasing. Also, the source of value in the medical service industry is changing from single service competitiveness to a total solution philosophy. In addition, any attempt to manage personal health data and U-Health continue to grow by innovations and are processed through IT convergence services such as Google Health or Touch Doctor. Basic U-health services are created by sending and receiving data between personal health devices, gateways, service providers and medical institutions. It is incomplete to implement U-Health, although a guideline based on standard focusing Continua is currently suggested. Thus in this paper, we designed a message server based on relevant requirements and standards. The proposed server can implement dynamic modules. It also allows many different standards to be accepted and expanded, so it is expected to help U-Health service provider systems to be implemented. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
