Abstract
Personal Health Records (PHR) containing physiological
data collected by multiple sensors are being increasingly
used for wellness monitoring or disease management. These
abundant complementary raw data could be nevertheless
disregarded given the challenges to understand and
process it. We propose a knowledge-based integration
model of PHR data from sensors and personal observations,
intended to facilitate decision support in scenarios of
cardiovascular disease monitoring. The model relates
knowledge at three data integration layers: elements
identification, relations assessment, and refinement.
Details on specific elements of each layer are provided,
along with a discussion of use and implementation
