Novel Connected Health Interoperable Layered (CHIL) Model

Abstract

In this paper we present a novel design of a Connected Health paradigm that solves the interoperability and transitivity issues by introducing layers - the Connected Health Interoperable Layered Model (CHIL Model). The goal of our cylindric CHIL model is achieving a new quality of telemedical systems whether they are already developed or in progress. Building new systems can be performed by direct implementation of its components in each disk (layer) of the cylinder. The existing systems can be mapped in two moduses, a Distributed mapping along multiple disks or Focused mapping on a single disk. Considering both cases, using the CHIL Model, result in a complete stand-alone system that can be successfully included in the Connected health Environment. As a prove of its leverage, we discuss two case studies that comprise both distributed and focused mapping of existing systems.
