Summary
Personal information management empowers citizens with their health data. The MyWellbeing project developed a citizen-driven "Coper" concept, reference architecture, and services for managing personal wellbeing information.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Personal Information Management
- Digital Health
Background:
- Personal information management is crucial for individual empowerment in health and wellbeing.
- The MyWellbeing project in Finland focuses on citizen-driven health data management.
- Existing systems often lack citizen control over personal health information.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a reference architecture for personal wellbeing information management.
- To identify application services supporting citizen-controlled health data.
- To discuss relevant standards and developments in the field.
Main Methods:
- Development of a citizen-driven concept named "Coper".
- Specification of architectural and functional guidelines based on the "Coper" concept.
- Identification and description of supporting application services.
Main Results:
- A reference architecture for personal wellbeing information management has been established.
- Key application services supporting the "Coper" concept were identified.
- Architectural and functional guidelines were defined.
Conclusions:
- The proposed architecture and services support citizen empowerment in managing personal wellbeing information.
- The citizen-driven "Coper" concept provides a foundation for future personal health information systems.
- Further discussion on standards is needed for seamless integration.

02:16Self-Schemas
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.
