On Architecture of BodyInNumbers Exercise and Wellness Health Strategy Framework

Abstract

They are many risk factors decreasing overall human physical and cognitive performance and increasing incidence of chronic diseases. It is very beneficial for any society to map, discuss and cope with these factors. This can be supported and evaluated by designing, developing, testing and using suitable self-management health systems. One of these systems is the BodyInNumbers exercise and wellness health strategy framework that allows experimenters to collect various heterogeneous health related data in a highly organized and efficient way. Thanks to its success and daily use, new requirements related to better security, scalability and maintainability of its architecture have emerged. The aim of this work is to present advances and changes in the architecture of the BodyInNumbers health strategy framework mainly focusing on new definition of user roles, optimization of the system deployment, and orchestration of the system components. As a proof of concept, a Kubernetes cluster prototype has been used to demonstrate the improved architectural solution.
