Chronic Disease Management System Design Based on Cloud Storage Architecture

Traditional Chinese medical (TCM) management system for chronic disease is designed based on distributed storage architecture. The system composed of three modules, namely, medical records collection module, information storage and processing module, and chronic disease education module. Among them, the patient information recorded in the collection module may come from three different information collection devices: computer, image acquisition, and cell-phone. Cloud storage technology is applied to integrate these records to a comprehensive chronic disease information management database. In the information processing module, statistical analysis, early warning assessment and patient guidance algorithms are designed for implementing active medical service, treatment program management, real-time monitoring and other functions. The chronic disease education module is a website, which provide chronic disease health knowledge to patient and help them achieve self-management.
