Abstract
eHealth gains more and more interest since a lot of enduser devices supporting health data capturing are available The captured data has to be managed and securely stored in order to access it from different devices and share it with other users such as physicians The aim of the germangreek research project ECHO is to support the treatment of patients who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease a chronic respiratory disease Usually the patients need to be examined by their physicians on a regular basis due to their chronic condition Since this is very time consuming and expensive we developed an eHealth system which allows the physician to monitor patients condition remotely eg via smart phones This article is an extension of previous work where we introduced a health data model and an associated platformarchitecture for the management and analysis of the data provided by the patients There we have also shown how the security of the data is ensured and we explained how the platform can be provided in a cloudbased environment using the OASIS standard TOSCA which enables a selfcontained management of cloudservices In this article we provide a more detailed description about the health data analysis provisioning and security aspects of the eHealth system
