Standardizing Personal Medical Data in 5G and 6G Era
Ana Koren, Ramjee Prasad · 2023
Electronic health records (EHR) are crucial for facilitating comprehensive and efficient patient care, enabling seamless information sharing among healthcare providers and enhancing clinical decision-making. Growing use of smart wearables and home automation devices with embedded sensors has created numerous opportunities for developing novel high-quality solutions in many sectors, including eHealth. The potential of using user-collected health data is enormous in the 5G and 6G era, making it a paradigm that holds promise for improving people's health and wellbeing. A step closer to ensuring continuous healthcare access would be achieved if EHRs were equipped to store and interpret data collected by sensors. This would result in standard-compliant personalized medical services. This paper presents the process of standardizing the data by defining semantic constraints for healthcare data types and modeling a procedure for validating the obtained data ensuring compliance to relevant standards and regulations.
