This paper provides an introduction to some of the most important challenges that may occur when introducing the principle of Personal Portable Devices for providing information in terms of Big Data on the one hand, and the concept of the Virtual Physiological Human on the other. Both concepts can be applied to exploit their specific capability to collect and record personal health data of different levels of granularity into processes of personalized health service provision. The paper thus analyzes Big Data approaches and their capability to provide information for personalized service provision, and the same goes for the Virtual Physiological Human as such. But it is not only devices, concepts, models, and strategies that are involved in personalized health care as well as welfare and wellness service provision to human beings - it is the human being himself, too. This paper addresses technological and methodological aspects of using large amounts of data whereas another paper submitted to this conference will bring forward the aspects of applied sensor and device technology in relation to decision support and decision making for pHealth services.
本文一方面介绍了在引入个人便携式设备原理以提供大数据信息时可能出现的一些最重要挑战，另一方面介绍了虚拟生理人概念。这两个概念都可用于利用其特定能力，将不同粒度级别的个人健康数据收集和记录到个性化健康服务提供过程中。因此，本文分析了大数据方法及其为个性化服务提供信息的能力，虚拟生理人概念也是如此。但参与人类个性化医疗保健以及福利和健康服务提供的不仅有设备、概念、模型和策略，还有人类自身。本文探讨了使用大量数据的技术和方法方面，而提交给本次会议的另一篇论文将提出与移动健康服务的决策支持和决策制定相关的应用传感器和设备技术方面。
