Objectives:
In this paper data flow and executive model of Mobile Health services risk management
by the use of context aware systems are provided. Materials and Methods: Mobile
health (M-Health) refers to using portable electronic devices having
application for delivering health services and patient’s information
management. M-Health can offer various services remotely in prevention, detection,
control, and treatment of disease or in the conditions of disaster for a
patient or an environment. These services can have more acceptable quality by
the help of Context Aware Systems which are defined as the capacity of
computing equipment for detection, feeling, interpreting, and replying to
user’s local environmental aspects and computing equipment itself. In this
paper, executive model is offered for managing services of M-Health based on
context aware systems. One of the supplies of developing a context aware system
is having a clear and well-defined definition of context and developing
appropriate context information provider. In order to deliver high quality and
well-managed M-Health services in the form of context aware systems, having
clinical risk management plan is necessary. Conclusions: M-Health services need
to develop appropriate communication strategies for interacting with
stockholders at each stage of clinical risk management process. Risks, which
are primarily resides in service providers, communicating channels or service receiver
sides, can be well identified and managed using clinical risk management,
M-Health and context aware systems. Thereby, these systems can offer qualified
and precise services.
