Abstract

We introduce the need for a distributed guideline-based decision support (DSS) process, describe its characteristics, and explain how we implemented this process within the European Union’s MobiGuide project. In particular, we have developed a mechanism of sequential, piecemeal projection, i.e., ‘downloading’small portions of the guideline from the central DSS server, to the local DSS in the patient’s mobile device, which then applies that portion, using the mobile device’s local resources. The mobile device sends acallbackto the central DSS when it encounters a triggering pattern predefined in the projected module, which leads to an appropriate predefined action by the central DSS, including sending a new projected module, or directly controlling the rest of the workflow.
