Abstract

This paper illustrates the design of a multi-platform synchronization framework which is particularly useful for speeding up the implementation of Personal Health Systems on mobile devices. Those devices turn out to be of great help since in order to transfer any data available at the patient site to the clinic and vice-versa a solid networking infrastructure and data exchange protocol is needed. The framework we developed extends an open source platform available on the market by empowering it with new features that better decouple domain specific data from the underlying transport logic. In the last part of the paper two prototypes exploiting the framework are described.
