Abstract :
Mobile health monitoring, with different biosensors embedded into mobile phone and body area network, provides an environment of monitoring daily activities for managing personal health. However, the lack of integration on monitored information constraints the opportunity on discovering life pattern and more comprehensive understanding for a person´s health status. In this paper, we proposed conceptual model for managing personal wellness information as PWR which provides a basis on integrating monitored information from various devices and a mobile health platform ensuring preventive and proactive service. We expect that the integrated model of personal wellness management will be a base structure for mobile health monitoring system which provides a person with increased confidence and a better quality life.
