Building robust cloud enabled e-health applications

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The rapid increase of mobile devices usage offers innovative ways for users to access medical data. Advanced e-health applications should be secure, available, scalable and user friendly. From developer’s perspective they should be easy to develop, deploy, test and maintain. The increasing volume of health data and the heterogonous sources create the need to adopt an international standard to facilitate the integration. In this paper, we address concerns about the development of e-health applications, and we analyze the need to decouple the backend from the frontend. We demonstrate a way to do so by using REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) serving through cloud alongside HL7 (Health Level Seven) standard and JavaScript framework for multiple platform compatible user interface.
