Streamlining Wearable Data Integration for EHDS: A Case Study on Advancing Healthcare Interoperability using Garmin Devices and FHIR

Details

This paper presents research titled “Streamlining wearable data integration for EHDS: a case study on advancing healthcare interoperability using Garmin devices and FHIR.” It analyzes, through a case study, the process of integrating heterogeneous and voluminous data—such as wearable sensor data from Garmin devices—into Electronic Health Record Systems (EHDS). This approach explores application possibilities particularly in areas like chronic disease management and clinical decision support. The research considers not only technical feasibility but also scalability and compliance with regulations (e.g., GDPR) during data collection and processing. By utilizing the FHIR standard, it aims to structure diverse data types and enhance interoperability between medical information systems. This study addresses a critical challenge in modern healthcare IT: how to safely and efficiently incorporate massive amounts of data generated by wearable devices into clinical records, providing a model case for data integration and advanced health information linkage.
