Abstract :
Present eHealth solutions developed for EHRs lack for motivation of use for competing healthcare enterprises and attraction for citizens. Proposed Universal Health Repositories supporting both clinical and home-measurement data related to telemedicine and wellness applications may force both institutions and individuals for active data sharing and exchange. However, HL7 protocol based communication solutions and installable software traditionally used in professional healthcare does not suit well for rapidly changing user driven application field. In the paper we describe a developed mobile data streaming and completely web based real-time access solution. The software has been developed for demonstrating novel services within an existing nation-wide eHealth system. The long term goal deploying similar applications is engage more citizens and healthcare enterprises to use eHealth services.
