Abstract
To improve healthcare delivery quality and to reduce medical cost of elderly care, healthcare organisations have increasingly adopted smart personal health monitoring system. However, anecdotal accounts of smart personal health monitoring systems’ potential benefits realisation are rare. This paper aims to develop a smart personal health monitoring system with the design principles of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA). An EDA is a design method of information technology architecture that uses to detect and monitor asynchronous events and respond to them intelligently by a publish/subscribe mechanism. We define Event-Driven Architecture capacity as Information Systems capabilities triggered by implementation of Event-Driven architecture. Understanding smart personal health monitoring systems by EDA is needed and desirable. We identify four capacities of smart personal health monitoring system: flexibility capacity, sensing capacity, interoperability capacity, and responding capacity that are generated from an event-driven architecture.
