Abstract
In this work, Personal Health Service Framework (PHSF) is proposed which
is an open architecture for developing patient-centric health applications
and monitoring systems that use personal health monitoring devices for
data gathering. PHSF uses service-oriented architecture to provide a baseline
for developing health-related applications. PHSF services support personal
health self-monitoring and remote monitoring, and to link health care
providers and patients. PHSF is implemented as a combination of web services
in four layers: the front-end services layer to support end user interactions,
the intermediate services layer to do various tasks for the frontend
services, the data access services layer to access the databases, and the
database layer. These services are grouped into 7 service components: device
client services, patient application services, provider client services, provider
application services, information storage and retrieval services, privacy and
security services, and transformation services. A prototype implementation
of the PHSF and a heart monitoring application implemented with PHSF
are presented in the thesis.
