Abstract [en]
In societies where the demographic change leads to a more and more unbalanced state between the elderly and all other different age groups, there, health management becomes one of the most significant problems, e.g., in order to allow what is often called successful aging. Ubiquitous use of smart mobile devices enables gathering of personalized data enriched with contextual information. This information can ideally be used in modern eHealth scenarios, resulting in mobile health (mHealth) scenarios. This paper describes how highly personalized and sensitive information, such as vital signs enriched with contextual information of a patient, can be stored at mobile devices and provided via modern web technologies for later-on analysis and health monitoring. Therefore, this paper presents a number of different scenarios in which such mobile technology provides certain benefits, discusses benefits, drawbacks and challenges of such an approach and describes an example implementation of an mHealth scenario.
