Summary
A new mobile health app, Self-Management mobile Personal Health Record (SmPHR), ensures interoperability between personal health devices and electronic medical records for chronic disease self-management. This study demonstrates its effective and low-error data transmission capabilities.
Area of Science:
- Mobile Health (mHealth)
- Health Informatics
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Continuous self-management of chronic diseases requires seamless data integration.
- Interoperability challenges exist between personal health devices (PHDs) and electronic medical record systems (EMRs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate the Self-Management mobile Personal Health Record (SmPHR) application.
- To ensure interoperability between PHDs and EMRs for chronic disease patient self-management.
Main Methods:
- Developed SmPHR for Android using Continua Health Alliance (CHA) standards.
- Implemented ISO/IEEE 11073, Bluetooth HDP, HL7 V2.6, Continuity of Care Document (CCD), and Continuity of Care Record (CCR) protocols.
- Evaluated transmission error rates with 611 users and collected feedback from 15 healthcare professionals.
Main Results:
- Low transmission error rates: 2.4% for Personal Area Network (PAN) and 2.1% for Wide Area Network (WAN)/Health Record Network (HRN) interfaces.
- Successful 'plug and play' functionality demonstrated for PHDs and EMRs.
- Positive feedback received from healthcare professionals on SmPHR's clinical utility.
Conclusions:
- SmPHR facilitates interoperable mobile health services for chronic disease patients.
- The application enables seamless integration of personal health devices and electronic medical records.
- SmPHR supports continuous self-management through standardized data exchange.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
