The eSana Framework: Mobile Services in eHealth using SOA

A large number of people already own a mobile phone. In the eHealth area, the usage of this mobile device is becoming more and more popular. Patients can install small applications on their devices that help or guide them in certain situations. Additionally, the mobile devices can be used to transmit all kind of physiological parameters electronically. These parameters are stored on a special server. This paper presents the eSana framework that was developed as an integrated system to connect patients to medical experts. Its focus is the presentation of a generalized data gathering mechanism to collect physiological parameters from a patient and to attach a number of subscribers that offer a service based on this data. A sequence diagram will be presented in order to illustrate the different interactions between the various participants of the system and the serviceoriented approach that allows adding new service providers to the whole system.
