A provenance framework for mHealth
Aarathi Prasad, Ronald J. Peterson, Jacob M. Sorber, David F. Kotz · 2012
Consider Jane, who is using one or more mHealth devices, continuously or periodically collecting her health-related information into her mobile phone. The phone periodically uploads this information, along with other health-related information that Jane manually inputs to her phone, to her electronic health record (EHR). Jane can then share her health information with her health providers, family and friends, peers, employer, insurer, and researchers. But how can these data consumers know whether to trust the sensor-collected and human-entered data they receive? What confidence do they have that it is accurate and authentic?
