The drive to achieve excellence in healthcare delivery while containing costs, underlies the need for a new generation of applications which facilitate the realization of a patient-centric care model. Under this emerging care model healthcare delivery can be integrated across the continuum of services, from prevention to follow up, and care can be coordinated across all settings. With care moving out into the community, health systems require real-time information to deliver coordinated care to patients. The integration of leading-edge technologies, such as mobile technology, with Personal Health Records (PHRs) can meet this requirement by making comprehensive and unified health information available to authorized users at any point of care or decision making through familiar environments such as Google's Android. This paper presents a framework that provides ubiquitous access to patients' PHRs via Android-enabled mobile devices. Where possible health information access and management is performed in a transparent way, thus enabling healthcare professionals to devote more time on practicing medicine and patients to manage their own health with the least possible intervention. This depends heavily on the context, which is collected by both Android-specific core system services and special purpose software agents with the latter being also responsible for preserving PHR data privacy.
在控制成本的同时实现卓越医疗服务的驱动力，构成了对新一代应用程序的需求，这些应用程序有助于实现以患者为中心的护理模式。在这种新兴的护理模式下，医疗服务可以在从预防到随访的整个服务连续体中进行整合，并且可以在所有环境中协调护理。随着护理服务延伸到社区，卫生系统需要实时信息来为患者提供协调的护理。将移动技术等前沿技术与个人健康记录（PHR）相结合，可以通过在诸如谷歌安卓这样的熟悉环境中，让授权用户在任何护理点或决策点都能获取全面统一的健康信息，从而满足这一需求。本文提出了一个框架，通过支持安卓的移动设备提供对患者PHR的普遍访问。在可能的情况下，以透明的方式进行健康信息的访问和管理，从而使医疗专业人员能够将更多时间用于行医，患者能够以最少的干预来管理自己的健康。这在很大程度上取决于上下文，上下文由安卓特定的核心系统服务和专用软件代理收集，后者还负责保护PHR数据隐私。
