Introduction:
Within a study investigating the potential of data from mobile devices to identify patients with heart failure at risk for clinical worsening we implemented standard-based integration of mobile data into a Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC) inside a university clinic.
State Of The Art:
We identified four different integration approaches from the literature.
Concept:
Data is processed live, i.e. no bulk export.
Implementation:
We enrolled 23 patients and integrated 24817 FHIR messages with mobile data.
Lessons Learned:
Integrating mobile device data into a university hospital is complex. We derived a list of questions to consider in planning data integration from mobile devices in similar research projects, emphasizing the importance of clarification of requirements and consideration of implementation details.
