Abstract:
As a consequence of the advances in technologies of wearable devices, the amount of data received from different kinds of sensors tend to grow significantly. This is also the case with medical data. In most cases, this highly diverse medical data has multi-dimensional and sparse structure. There are generic XML and RDF formats to describe this data. Moreover, RDF is a key technology for semantic applications. Nevertheless, in real-world high-loaded services, relational databases are used for storing large volumes of attribute-value pairs for the purposes of better performance. This paper describes the approach to database schema design for a service of continuous monitoring of health parameters. The proposed approach is based on Entity-Attribute-Value model widely used in medical databases.
