各种独立研究表明，慢性病（CD）的指数增长正在耗尽政府和私人医疗保健系统，以至于一些国家将其预算的一半分配给医疗保健系统。为了从信息技术的发展中受益，电子保健监测和预防方法被认为是最有前途的解决方案之一。事实上，实施良好的监测和预防计划报告说，CD风险大幅降低，并缩小了其对患者健康状况和政府医疗保健预算的影响。在本文中，我们提出了一个框架，收集病人的数据在真实的时间，进行适当的非侵入性监测，并提出医疗和/或生活方式的约定，只要需要和适当的。该框架依赖于面向服务的架构（SOA）和云，允许不同技术、应用程序和服务的无缝集成。它还集成了移动的技术，可以从患者的可穿戴生物传感器顺利收集和传输重要数据，同时考虑到移动的设备的有限功能和功率消耗以及间歇性网络断开。然后，数据存储在云中，并通过SOA提供，以允许医生，护理人员或任何其他授权实体轻松访问。已经开发了一个案例研究，以评估该框架的可用性，并已分析的初步结果显示出非常有前途的结果。
Various and independent studies are showing that an exponential increase of chronic diseases (CDs) is exhausting governmental and private healthcare systems to an extent that some countries allocate half of their budget to healthcare systems. To benefit from the IT development, e-health monitoring and prevention approaches revealed to be among top promising solutions. In fact, well-implemented monitoring and prevention schemes have reported a decent reduction of CDs risk and have narrowed their effects, on both patients' health conditions and on government budget spent on healthcare. In this paper, we propose a framework to collect patients' data in real time, perform appropriate nonintrusive monitoring, and propose medical and/or life style engagements, whenever needed and appropriate. The framework, which relies on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the Cloud, allows a seamless integration of different technologies, applications, and services. It also integrates mobile technologies to smoothly collect and communicate vital data from a patient's wearable biosensors while considering the mobile devices' limited capabilities and power drainage in addition to intermittent network disconnections. Then, data are stored in the Cloud and made available via SOA to allow easy access by physicians, paramedics, or any other authorized entity. A case study has been developed to evaluate the usability of the framework, and the preliminary results that have been analyzed are showing very promising results.
