A Cloud-Based X73 Ubiquitous Mobile Healthcare System: Design and Implementation

Abstract EN

Based on the user-centric paradigm for next generation networks, this paper describes a ubiquitous mobile healthcare (uHealth) system based on the ISO/IEEE 11073 personal health data (PHD) standards (X73) and cloud computing techniques.

A number of design issues associated with the system implementation are outlined.

The system includes a middleware on the user side, providing a plug-and-play environment for heterogeneous wireless sensors and mobile terminals utilizing different communication protocols and a distributed “big data” processing subsystem in the cloud.

The design and implementation of this system are envisaged as an efficient solution for the next generation of uHealth systems.
