Maintenance Notice

Due to necessary scheduled maintenance, the JMIR Publications website will be unavailable from Wednesday, July 01, 2020 at 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM EST. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Who will be affected?

Currently submitted to: Interactive Journal of Medical Research

Date Submitted: Feb 14, 2024
Open Peer Review Period: Feb 21, 2024 - Apr 17, 2024
(closed for review but you can still tweet)

NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint

Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).

Peer-review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer-Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.

Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).

Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.

Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.

Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.

Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.

ABSTRACT

Background:

Government policies in the U.S. and E.U. promote standardization and value creation in the use of FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability) data.

Objective:

In this global trend, the interoperable interface called Sync for Science-J (S4S-J) for linking Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Personal Health Record (PHR) was launched on the Basic Policy for Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform in Japan.

Methods:

S4S-J controls data distribution consisting of EMR and Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) and converts this information into QR codes that can be scanned by mobile applications. This system facilitates data sharing based on personal information beliefs and unlocks siloed IoT systems with Privacy Preference Manager (PPM). In line with Japanese information handling practices, the development of a mobile-cloud network will lower barriers to entry and enable accelerated data sharing. To ensure cross-compatibility and compliance with future international data standardization, S4S-J conforms to the HL7-FHIR standard and uses the international standardized LOINC to redefine medical terms used in different terminology standards in different medical fields. It is developed as an applied standard in the medical information intended for industry, healthcare services and research through secondary use of data.

Results:

A multicenter collaborative study was initiated to investigate the effectiveness of this system as a registry clinical trial and a multicenter randomized controlled trial, the EMBRACE study of the mobile health (mHealth) application M♡Link for hyperglycemic disorders in pregnancy, which implements EMR-PHR interoperable interface S4S-J.

Conclusions:

The patient-centric data flow of the S4S-J in Japan is expected to guarantee the right to data portability, which promotes the maximum benefit of use by patients themselves, which in turn contributes to the promotion of open science.
