Summary
This paper presents THE-MUSS, a mobile ubiquitous health (u-health) service system. It enables the creation and operation of diverse u-health services, enhancing future service capabilities through reusability and evolution.
Area of Science:
- Ubiquitous Health (u-health)
- Mobile Health Services
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Developing versatile mobile u-health services requires common functionalities like bio-signal processing and analysis.
- Existing platforms may lack the reusability and evolvability needed for diverse u-health applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce THE-MUSS, a novel mobile u-health service system.
- Design THE-MUSS with reusability and evolvability as core principles.
- Provide a platform for developing and running various mobile u-health services.
Main Methods:
- Developed layered architecture with modules for bio-signal capturing, processing, analysis, diagnosis, and feedback.
- Integrated a u-health service platform, design tool, portal, and matrix-based disease group identification method.
- Built mobile stress and weight management services to demonstrate practicality.
Main Results:
- THE-MUSS architecture supports essential u-health functions.
- Demonstrated practical utility by successfully developing stress and weight management services.
- The system's capabilities are expected to improve as more services are developed.
Conclusions:
- THE-MUSS is a practical and effective system for developing mobile u-health services.
- The system's layered architecture and integrated components promote reusability and evolvability.
- THE-MUSS has the potential to advance the field of mobile u-health service development.

01:30Primary Healthcare Services
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

01:11Secondary Healthcare System
Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...
01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

01:20Integrated Healthcare System
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
01:21Tertiary Healthcare System
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...
01:18Introduction To Health Care Delivery System
The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
