Frameworks for multi-purpose U-health care interface

Abstract

Rather than modeling the user-interface as a set of static structures and mappings, the u-health care UI should be modeled as a set of design preferences. Preferences are frequently many-to-one or many-to-many relationships that elude conventional u-health care UI modeling, which has largely focused on one-to-one mappings. There are network compatibility problems among the u-health devices as their different protocols and software which are manufactured depending on the characteristics of companies. In this paper, a spectrum of preference relations is described, and a new syntax for modeling preference is proposed to design the u-healthcare UI. This spectrum extends from simple one-to-one bindings to complex design guidelines that can be structured together to implement decision trees. This new representation allows decision trees to be tightly integrated into the user-interface model itself, enhancing their flexibility and power. we also analyzed ISO/IEEE 11073 which is standard of information exchange among device agent and service manager and designed EMDI(Electronic Medical Data Interchange)interface for the improvement of compatibility in u-healthcare service field. The proposed interface structure can manage and exchange all of service data among device agent and application system on the integrated gateway environment. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
