A distributed personal health information management system (D-PHIMS) has been tested at a nursing home for the senior citizens (NHSC) in Singapore. The personal health information management system (PHIMS) from the University of Washington was customized to Singapore's context for teledermatology. A clinical trial commenced in October 2005 is ongoing and the survey results obtained indicate that...
Advances in sensor technology, personal mobile devices, and wireless broadband communications are enabling the development of an integrated personal mobile health monitoring system that can provide patients with a useful tool to assess their own health and manage their personal health information anytime and anywhere. Personal mobile devices, such as PDAs and mobile phones, are becoming more powerful...

Distributed diagnosis and home healthcare aims to improve the quality of care and patient wellness and outcomes by transforming the delivery of healthcare from a central, hospital-based system to one that is more distributed and home-based. A personal health information management system (PHIMS) and a facilitated accurate referral management system (FARMS) were developed, tested and deployed by the...
Increasing acceptance and availability of information and communication technology (ICT) have made the development and implementation of Web-based electronic personal health records (PHRs) more feasible. Previous studies have demonstrated the PHR's potential to alleviate limitations in traditional healthcare delivery. However, this type of technology-dependent approach inherits the vulnerabilities...
The healthcare system in the U.S. is facing serious challenges on multiple fronts. In the past few decades, the financial burden of healthcare has increased significantly not only for the government and employers, but also for individual consumers. Most people would agree that the current healthcare system faces an impending crisis. In the future, the realization of patient-centered healthcare systems...
Recent rapid growth in mobile computing technologies enables telemedicine applications to operate on mobile devices. Our focus is on the design of an integrated electrocardiogram (ECG) beat detector on a personal digital assistant (PDA) platform for the health screening process. The ECG beat detector module will be supported by the PDA version of personal health information management system (PHIMS)...
Advances and wide acceptance of information and communication technology (ICT) have made development and implementation of Web-based electronic personal health records (PHRs) more feasible than ever before, and previous studies have demonstrated some of its potential and promises. However, this type of ICT-dependent approach inherits its own vulnerabilities of exposing the society to "digital...
