A Mobile Cloud-Based Biofeedback Platform for Evaluating Medication Response

In recent years, biofeedback has been widely applied into diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. There are also increasingly research exploiting various ICT (Information & Communication Technology) technologies, such as cloud technology, to achieve diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, how to use mobile cloud technology to assist the disease's diagnosis, to record treatment status, and to infer the result will be an important issue. In this paper, we will propose a mobile cloud platform and framework for the patient of mental illness for evaluating medication response through a variety of biofeedback information collection, integration, and fusion, so that physician can know the patient's situation. The physiological data including Heart Rate Variability and Brain Wave are collected through wearable sensors. And the psychological data is collected through monthly mood chart. The biofeedback physiological and psychological data can be fused into together to show the medication response after patient taking some medicines. An APP for the framework has been developed to show the effectiveness.
