Ubi-Watch

Abstract

Wearable devices have wide applications in healthcare, and an increasing amount of health-related information is being collected and stored in the cloud. However, the existence of data silos hinders users and professionals from obtaining a comprehensive view of health. Combining data sources from different wearable devices with other personal data in a secure manner has great potential benefits for individuals, healthcare professionals, and researchers. Decentralized architectures such as UPOD offer a solution that enables users to better control the data in their UPODs. This study proposes the Ubi-Health framework, integrating sensor data from various types of wearable devices into UPOD, and creates Pod App, a proof-of-concept decentralized mobile health application. Through the Pod App, individuals can make more informed decisions about their health and well-being. Researchers can utilize data from wearable devices to analyze users’ health trends and identify potential risk factors.
