Life style improvement mobile service for high risk chronic disease based on PHR platform

As IT convergence technique develops, medical technology and apparatus are being modernized opening the era that we can obtain variable information easily anywhere, anytime thanks to wireless communication developed, further. These social changes enabled us to obtain information related to health more efficiently. Modern society is rapidly aging and more people experience chronic diseases because of their wrong eating habit, obesity and insufficient exercise. Thus a demand for health improvement and management at a certain term is increasing rather than complete therapy. Previously, major medical institutions managed personal medical history regarding patients mainly in health management but it is not changing its method to self-utilization and management by individual patient as of now along with medical institutions as fusion technology develops, and individual health record information can easily be checked anywhere, anytime through personal health record (PHR) platform. Unlike developing speed of related technology, however, there is a limitation in expansion, development of individual health record service, personal information security currently. In this paper, we propose mobile service regarding life style improvement targeting high risk chronic diseases based on PHR platform. PHR platform determines high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia diseases which are three main chronic diseases using users’ data and can monitor chronic diseases in portable mobile device. Also, the service provides by organically, mutually connected form through feedback towards input from health states of users in mobile device. By proposing contents about service based on efficient individual health record through mobile device that maximized transportability based on PHR platform, proposed method will contribute to industry development and activation of application service development of individual health record. Increase in consistency and reliability through standardization of afterwards health management service is expected to contribute to reduction in social cost and improvement of national health being the basis to realize communication activation of health record between medical institutions, efficient management and education of patients, reduction in dual examinations.
