Data Sharing in Mobile Health Platform

Abstract

Mobile health is an important tool for continuous health monitoring, which opens up new opportunities for physicians, patients, and researchers. The exponential growth of the field resulted in an increase rate of appearance of new solutions in the healthcare market and, consequently, an increase in the amount of information about the health of the population. However, nearly all of the information collected by these services is isolated from each other, as it is distributed across different sites, services and mobile apps. The lack of a user’s ability to conveniently manage and share their medical data is the major problem of the sphere at the moment. The creation of the Mobile Medicine platform can be a solution to this problem, offering a framework on which third-party developers and companies can host their services, available to all visitors of the platform. In our work we analyze existing solutions in the mobile medicine market, provide use cases for Mobile medicine services, propose the concept of the platform, develop use cases for Mobile medicine platform, highlight and compare three ways of data exchange variants and based on the comparison select and implement a prototype of data exchange within Mobile Medicine platform.
