Design of a cross-platform mobile application for sharing self-collected health data securely with health services

Abstract

There is a need for sharing and integrating patients’ self-collected health data with electronic health records used by clinicians. A cross-platform mobile application has been developed in order to meet this need. It shares health data securely and is compatible with the Norwegian Centre for E-health Research’s FullFlow architecture. The application’s design and its components are studied in order to find out which technologies are suited for this type of application to ensure usability, integration with the Norwegian healthcare infrastructure, and confidentiality and integrity of health data.
