Personal Health Service Framework

In this paper, the Personal Health Service Framework (PHSF) is proposed which is an open architecture for developing patient-centric health applications and monitoring systems. PHSF uses new advancements of service-oriented architec- ture to provide a baseline for developing health-related systems. PHSF services are used to make self-monitoring and remote monitoring possible, and to link healthcare providers and patients. PHSF is implemented as a combination of web services provided in 7 components in 4 layers. A heart monitoring application built on PHSF is described in this paper.
