Ubiquitous Healthcare and Ubiquitousness of Chronic Disease Prevention and Control: Theory and Design

With the gradual maturing of technologies such as cloud computing, high-speed mobile Internet and Internet of things, to realize the Ubiquitous Healthcare in the health field is not only an irresistible trend, but also a realistic possibility. According to the chronic disease management theory and the service-oriented architecture, this study proposed the designing scheme and implementation methods of a mobile service platform for the big data collection and analysis of chronic disease based on cloud computing. With this platform, community residents can enjoy the convenient and quick health self-management services, while community healthcare staff can provide timely and efficient services to the patients with chronic diseases or those potentially high-risk individuals precisely. This paper is aimed to provide theoretical reference for the ubiquitous healthcare research specifically in chronic disease prevention and control, and also help in the practice of upgrading community health service and promoting a supply-side structural reform in chronic disease management.
