Drishti: A Sense-Plan-Act Extension to Open mHealth Framework Using FHIR

Abstract

Mobile Health (mHealth) is vital in promoting a collaborative healthcare model. Disparate mHealth Apps that do not talk to each other make complex behavioural interventions difficult. Open mHealth is a schema and framework for facilitating health information exchange for mHealth apps. We propose an extension to open mHealth for behavioural interventions. We call our proposed extension; Drishti (yogic gaze). It applies the sense-plan-act paradigm from robotics. We offer an open-source implementation of Drishti, and we evaluate it using a design science research framework.
