Scaleable and Open Framework for Human/Digital Trust between Informal/Formal Personal Health Care Infrastructures

This project extends the e-Health Cloud-based Platform, and integrates with assisted living. The project integrates Edinburgh Napier University, Microsoft and HoIP, and has created a novel governance policy infrastructure using a circle-of-trust relationship for assisted living, which then links to...

Data Capture and Auto Identification Reference

This project relates to the research collaboration between Edinburgh Napier University, CipherLab, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, GS1 UK, Imperial College, and Kodit, and is funded through a research project with the TSB (Technology Strategy Board).

Personal health data manager

There are many personal health-data sources but what about destinations? What can you do with your health data after you have collected them? Can you view data from two smartphone apps in a single graph? Can you share this graph with your family?
