Abstract

Disclosed herein is an open healthcare apparatus and method in which a user personally performs integrated management of health records including data concerning western medicine, oriental medicine, life logs, etc. health-related big data is built by receiving health information, from which personal information is deleted, under the agreement of the user, and customized health service is provided by various service providers based on the health-related big data. The disclosed apparatus includes a personal cloud repository for storing personal health data, a health-related big data repository for storing public and personal health data on a health case basis, a healthcare platform for storing and analyzing personal health data and for relaying and managing a customized service, and an analysis platform for analyzing user's health based on the information of the health-related big data repository and for providing customized service depending on the analysis result.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An open healthcare apparatus, comprising:
a healthcare platform providing an Open API enabling provision of a customized service; and
an analysis platform,
wherein the healthcare platform comprises:
a personal health data processing unit receiving personal health data of a user from a plurality of health record providers, converting the personal health data into an identical format, and storing the converted personal health data in a personal cloud repository, the identical format being an XML format; and
a public health data processing unit receiving public health data from a public health data server, converting the public health data into the XML format, and storing the converted public health data in a health-related big data repository on a health case basis,
wherein the analysis platform comprises:
a health data analysis unit generating an analysis result by analyzing the converted personal health data based on the public health data stored in the health-related big data repository; and
a health analysis result provision unit providing the user with a customized service by providing the analysis result to the healthcare platform,
and
wherein the personal health data processing unit performs:
receiving, from a user terminal, a first access right issuing request for a health record provider selected from among the plurality of health record providers, wherein the selected health record provider is selected by the user and accessible by the user through a first personal authentication;
transferring the first access right issuing request to the selected health record provider, and acquiring a first access right from the selected health record provider when the first personal authentication is performed by the user on the selected health record provider;
receiving, from the user terminal, a second access right issuing request for the personal cloud repository, wherein the personal cloud repository is selected from among a plurality of personal cloud repositories and accessible by the user through a second personal authentication;
transferring the second access right issuing request to the selected personal cloud repository, and acquiring a second access right from the selected personal cloud repository when the second personal authentication is performed by the user on the selected personal cloud repository;
receiving, from the user terminal, a request for storing personal health data provided by the selected health record provider; and
receiving the personal health data from the selected health record provider using the first access right and storing the personal health data in the selected personal cloud repository using the second access right.

2. The open healthcare apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the personal health data processing unit converts the personal health data by performing communication, authentication, and data transmission with the plurality of health record providers through the healthcare platform.

3. The open healthcare apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the health-related big data repository stores health data provided by the personal cloud repository under agreement of the user, the public health data provided by the public health data server, or a combination thereof.

4. The open healthcare apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the health data analysis unit generates the analysis result by:
retrieving a case similar to the personal health data of the user by mining the public health data stored in the health-related big data repository;
predicting the future health of the user based on the retrieved similar case; and
proposing a guideline for improving the future health of the user.

5. The open healthcare apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of health record providers include a server of at least one western medicine hospital, a server of at least one oriental medicine hospital, a life log server, or a combination thereof.

6. An open healthcare method performed by an open healthcare apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user terminal, a first access right issuing request for a health record provider selected from among a plurality of health record providers, wherein the selected health record provider is selected by a user and accessible by the user through a first personal authentication;
transferring the first access right issuing request to the selected health record provider, and acquiring a first access right from the selected health record provider when the first personal authentication is performed by the user on the selected health record provider;
receiving, from the user terminal, a second access right issuing request for a personal cloud repository, wherein the personal cloud repository is selected from a plurality of personal cloud repositories and accessible by the user through a second personal authentication;
transferring the second access right issuing request to the selected personal cloud repository, and acquiring a second access right from the selected personal cloud repository when the second personal authentication is performed by the user on the selected personal cloud repository;
receiving, from the user terminal, a request for storing personal health data provided by the selected health record provider;
receiving the personal health data from the selected health record provider using the first access request;
converting the personal health data into an identical format, the identical format being an XML, format;
storing the converted personal health data in the selected personal cloud repository using the second access right, and performing integrated management on the personal health data;
analyzing health-related big data that includes public health data and the personal health data in the selected personal cloud repository, the public health data being in the XML format; and
providing a customized health service to the user based on the analyzed health-related big data.

7. The open healthcare method of claim 6 , wherein converting the personal health data into the identical format includes performing communication, authentication, and data transmission with a plurality of personal health data servers through a healthcare platform, the plurality of personal health data servers respectively corresponding to the plurality of health record providers.

8. The open healthcare method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving the public health data from a public health data server,
converting the received public health data into the XML format using a public health data processing unit; and
storing the converted public health data in a health-related big data repository.

9. The open healthcare method of claim 6 , wherein storing the converted personal health data in the selected personal cloud repository includes transmitting the converted personal health data to the selected personal cloud repository through health data relay by a healthcare platform without storing the converted personal health data in the user terminal of the user.

10. The open healthcare method of claim 6 , wherein the health-related big data is health data being provided by the selected personal cloud repository under agreement of the user, the public health data being provided by a public health data server, or a combination thereof.

11. The open healthcare method of claim 6 , wherein providing the customized health service comprises:
retrieving a case similar to the personal health data of the user by performing data mining on the health-related big data; and
predicting the future health of the user based on the retrieved similar case; and proposing a guideline for improving the future health of the user.
