VAULTASSIST CASE STUDY: SUPPORTING DIABETES MANAGEMENT USING HEALTHVAULT

CitiusTech developed the connectivity for supporting a diabetes program at a large hospital network, using Microsoft HealthVault. The application acts as the bridge between HealthVault and the hospital system. It fetches Blood Glucose Measurement of the patients in cohort from HealthVault, converts the data type into a HL7 message (ORU^R01), which is subsequently sent to the hospital’s interface engine over MLLP.

• Patient uploads his/her blood glucose data to Microsoft HealthVault using blood glucose monitor provided by the hospital
   
• The application gets the patient data in cohort from the hospital system
   
• At a pre-defined schedule, the application connects to patient’s HealthVault accounts and reads the patient data from HealthVault
   
• The application then generates an HL7 message (ORU^R01) and sends it to the interface engine on a specific port using MLLP

The application is implemented as a Windows Service using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and consists of a scheduler service and a configuration application. It is installed within the hospital and connects to HealthVault webservice using the HealthVault .NET SDK.
