physical examination. The personal health management system provided by the medi-
cal institutions or companies on the website is the personal health analysis and man-
agement system for the patients or employees. The personal health management
systems can assess the health risk from the report of regular comprehensive physical
examination upload by the users or vital signs collected by wearable devices [7, 8].
According to the result of health risk assessment, a part of the health management
systems can recommend an improvement plan for users. The improvement plan aims
to provide the guidelines which can be used to reduce the health risk.
The representative application of the existing personal health management system
is the employee health management system [9]. The employee health management
system provides the companies to analyze health risk of their employees. The results
of analyzing health risk can be used to understand employee health not only for them-
selves but also their employers. Some employee health management systems target
the metabolic syndrome as the early stage of chronic diseases for monitoring health
state of the employees. The employees upload their reports of regular comprehensive
physical examination to this system for analyzing the health risk. The users get their
analysis report created by the employee health management system. The analysis
report includes the health risk and recommended guidelines. But the employee health
management systems are only applied in the companies.
iHealth365 [10] is one of personal health management systems, and it is a platform for
medical institutions or companies to management health of customers or employees.
iHealth365 system allows users to upload their report of regular comprehensive physical
examination and analyze the vital signs of the report, and it also provides not only the
assessment of health risk but also the health data visualization and remind system to
supervise the users. Furthermore, the smart phone app of the iHealth365 for the users can
get an improvement plan to maintain their health. The experts also can use this system to
help their patients on real time when the patients give the feedbacks. The iHealth365 also
provides a function for collecting data from the wearable devices. But iHealth365 system
does not automatically provide personal diet and exercise guidelines, and it still needs
medical experts to analyze the report to suggest the personal guidelines.
In general, those personal health management systems provide monitoring the
health state of users and create the assessment of health risk. And then the users
search guidelines from the database of the systems or get an improvement plan which
includes the recommended guidelines. The users can comply with the improvement
plan commended by the systems. Therefore, the users maintain their health state by
themselves. Furthermore, the scalability of the systems should be considered, because
some of those systems only target the specific diseases, like metabolic syndrome,
Fatty Liver, or Cancers. The existing systems are recommending the guidelines in
fixed or for specific diseases. The systems should allow the users to search the data-
base of the systems. There are no systems only using physical examination data and
automatically create the personal improvement plan for the users. In the real applica-
tions, the real-time remind is needed for supervising the users but the existing systems
do not include in their framework.
