- Abstract
A system architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure behavior and more views of a system. Mobile health apps architecture consist of system components and the sub systems developed, that work together and collaborate with others. Mobile Health apps Architecture include four layers: Service and Application, Identity and Access, Data and Records, and Communications. Each layer performs some of the functions necessary to achieve interoperability and communication between systems. Service and Application layer; consisting of the functional healthcare specific application components such as Health application, Billing and Cost, and Service management that interface with existing systems. Identity and Access; consisting of the nonfunctional components such as patient consent, patient identity, and confidentiality, privacy and security management. Data and Records; consisting of the data, information and record management. Communications consisting of the communications and messaging protocols, network and services interfaces. Failure to use accepted standards for the design and development of mobile health applications will pose problems and risks for developers, health care providers, patients, and the public. A standard can be defined as 'a document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose'. The standards required the development of mobile health applications include data standards (ICD-10, SNOMED CT, LOINC), communication devices standards (Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi), data transfer standards (HL7, DICOM, IEEE11073), and security standards (Data Encryption, Authentication). As a result, the use of mobile health architecture and related standards as a roadmap can have a positive impact on the development of high quality mobile health apps and the integration of health care information systems.
