“…The basic idea is that patient health information is carried by the patients themselves in the form of mPHR systems [18,19]. These mPHRs run on their smartphones and may occasionally connect to the traditional electronic health records (EHR) [20] of healthcare providers.…”

Nationwide health information exchange (NHIE) continues to be a persistent concern for government agencies, despite the many efforts and the conceived benefits of sharing patient data among healthcare providers. Difficulties in ensuring global connectivity, interoperability, and concerns on security have always hampered the government from successfully deploying NHIE. By looking at NHIE from a fresh perspective and bearing in mind the pervasiveness and power of modern mobile platforms, this paper proposes a new approach to NHIE that builds on the notion of consumer-mediated HIE, albeit without the focus on central health record banks. With the growing acceptance of smartphones as reliable, indispensable, and most personal devices, we suggest to leverage the concept of mobile personal health records (PHRs installed on smartphones) to the next level. We envision mPHRs that take the form of distributed storage units for health information, under the full control and direct possession of patients, who can have ready access to their personal data whenever needed. However, for the actual exchange of data with health information systems managed by healthcare providers, the latter have to be interoperable with patient-carried mPHRs. Computer industry has long ago solved a similar problem of interoperability between peripheral devices and operating systems. We borrow from that solution the idea of providing special interfaces between mPHRs and provider systems. This interface enables the two entities to communicate with no change to either end. The design and operation of the proposed approach is explained. Additional pointers on potential implementations are provided, and issues that pertain to any solution to implement NHIE are discussed.

“…In fact, our bodies and behaviour have never been more measured and assessed (Lupton, 2013). Every day, vast medical data sets produced by mobile, patient-oriented infrastructures and stored in PHR infrastructures reveal new insights and pave the way for new treatments and methods to improve patient wellbeing (Dohan et al, 2014).…”

When designed and managed properly, personal health records (PHRs) are valuable tools that can reform healthcare systems. Yet while the PHR literature covers multidiscipline cases on design requirements, implementations and early positive results, it also echoes concerns related to the undelivered potential and challenges tied to PHRs. Consequently, a vast body of literature exists with unclear themes and blurred lines between perception, realisation and outcome. This paper exposes dominant research themes in PHR research and aids the understanding of this developing field. Our bibliographic analysis of 524 papers published from 2000 to 2015 revealed a core set of 61 publications. Interesting identified themes include the operation of PHRs with emphasis on innovation, prototypes and governance, as well as the impact of PHRs on specific medical conditions, healthcare processes and sociotechnical issues. Design issues were also exposed focusing on user requirements, design elements and technologies and lessons learned through empirical cases.

“…A large number of companies have emerged to provide consumers with the opportunity to use mPHRs within a healthcare platform (Kharrazi et al, 2012). An increasing number of studies have been published discussing different mPHR characteristics, functionalities and requirements (Chang et al, 2010;Simon and Seldon, 2012;Kharrazi et al, 2012;Al-Habsi and Seldon, 2013;Dohan et al, 2014). General inherent property requirements should be taken into consideration before the development of an mPHR.…”

Software product quality requirements reflect the stockholders' needs in terms of quality. They play a central role in the success of the system and the software product quality. This paper lists mobile personal health record (mPHR) requirements extracted from literature and identifies the requirements which should be included in the mPHR quality evaluation. Moreover, the ISO/IEC 25010 software product quality model is used to present a checklist with which to calculate the influence of the mPHR requirements on software product quality. Furthermore, the degrees of influence of mPHR requirements on software product quality are calculated and analyzed. A set of recommendations for mPHRs developers and stakeholders is provided.
