A simple approach to share users' own healthcare data with a mobile phone

Abstract

Nowadays, many kinds of IT-based healthcare products have been released, which measure the patients' health status and warn them of potential risk they might have. In addition, this accumulated data can be sent to remote medical staff in order for the users to get the proper guidelines or treatments from them. In this paper, we propose a simple approach which makes sure that the patients secure the ownership of their own healthcare data and control access of other people to the data. Moreover, we applied this method into the smartphone-based rehabilitation application for those who are suffering from shoulder dysfunction.
