[RECUR - Establishment of An Automated Digital Registry for Patients with Recurrent Stones in the Upper Urinary Tract].

Kidney stones, like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus, affect a large number of people. Patients suffer from acute pain, repeated hospitalizations and associated secondary diseases, such as arterial hypertension and renal insufficiency. This results in considerable costs for the society and its health care system.

Integrating a Secure and Generic Mobile App for Patient Reported Outcome Acquisition into an EHR Infrastructure Based on FHIR Resources.

Both patients and physicians of the University Hospital of Erlangen would welcome means of digital data exchange between patients and the hospital. This work presents a system's architecture, FHIR based data model, security measures, and application flow based on patient's smartphones and a public cloud infrastructure to obtain patient reported outcome measures and merge that information with clinical routine data.

Concept to gain trust for a German personal health record system using public cloud and FHIR.

Objective: Although a national Personal Health Record (PHR) infrastructure was supposed to have been introduced in Germany by law in 2006 and different providers are entering the market, no system has yet been widely adopted in Germany. There is also little information available on how current technical advancements affect German patients' and physicians' trust in PHR systems.

Methods: Supporting scenarios obtained from clinicians, this study proposes a concept for a German PHR system using a public cloud infrastructure, smartphone access and focusing on trust, privacy, and interoperability.
