Abstract

Public institutions worldwide are moving a number of services targeted to citizens from traditional data infrastructures to cloud based technologies, with the aim of improving the quality offered, and reducing costs. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in the field of health-related public services. Among the technological devices and media enabling users' access to such services, the emerging smart TV platform represents a promising and valid means of interaction. In many countries, where population ageing is becoming the leading welfare concern, information and communication technologies are expected to play a basic role in alleviating the pressure on public healthcare services. In this scenario, the paper discusses the feasibility of an e-health service delivered through the smart TV, by the design and implementation of a prototype application that enables the remote consultation of personal medical reports. Users can access their personal health records, and visualise the outcomes of medical examinations performed at a specific laboratory by interacting with the smart TV through its remote controller.
通过智能电视实现电子医疗服务的可行性:原型演示
世界各地的公共机构正在将一些针对公民的服务从传统的数据基础设施转移到基于云的技术上,目的是提高所提供的质量,降低成本。这一现象在与健康有关的公共服务领域尤为重要。在使用户能够访问这些服务的技术设备和媒体中,新兴的智能电视平台代表了一种有前途和有效的交互手段。在许多国家,人口老龄化正成为主要的福利问题,预计信息和通信技术将在减轻公共保健服务的压力方面发挥基本作用。在这种情况下,本文通过设计和实现一个原型应用程序,讨论了通过智能电视提供电子医疗服务的可行性,该原型应用程序可以远程咨询个人医疗报告。用户可以访问他们的个人健康记录,并通过遥控器与智能电视互动,可视化在特定实验室进行的医疗检查结果。
