Abstract
The enormous set of health and wellbeing data sources, as well as the diversity of the data, calls for an effective, time-aware integration paradigm that aids at the manipulation of the information by experts as a whole and not as individual pieces of knowledge. In this paper, we present the Health Service Bus, a service-based platform built on top of the Enterprise Service Bus architecture. Treating new information, either human-generated (e.g., doctors, dieticians, etc.) or device-generated (i.e., smart wristbands or connected scales) as events allows for in-time action and treatment. Platform interoperability is ensured both on service level, since any service irrespective of its specification can be plugged into the Health Service Bus seamlessly, and on data level, since health standards, such as HL7 FHIR and LOINC, are leveraged.
