Abstract
Electronic communication between health and wellness
service providers and customers is becoming more common.
The paper introduces a new document-based service
approach - PIR (Personal Information Repository) -
supporting information to be sent between the provider
and the customer. The advantage compared to existing
solutions is that the service can be shared with several
service providers, which allows the customer to use the
same interface for many services. Furthermore,
transmission of structured (HL7/CDA R2) documents is
supported allowing semantic compatibility of exchanged
health information. A user trial has been carried out for
testing the solution. The results are encouraging and
reflect considerable interest towards exchange of
personal health and wellness information.
