A Platform for Choreography of Heterogeneous Healthcare Services

Abstract

In this paper, we design a novel platform that facilitates integrated healthcare services without a centralized orchestration. Events that reflect dynamically changing conditions of patients are published using a scalable messaging middleware built on top of a publish/subscribe broker overlay network. Events matching service rules are routed to the appropriate caretakers. Services rules are issued autonomously by the caretakers who subscribe to the future matching events. Through this event-driven system, we aim to help the caretakers and medical staff to recommend and offer services to patients in a more timely and seamless manner.
