This page is an online supplement to research papers on MyPHRMachines, a research prototype that demonstrates how virtualization and remote desktop technologies can be used to store personal health records in the cloud in an innovative but perhaps surprisingly simple way.
The My Personal Healthcare Record Machines name relates to the following features:
My refers to ownership: you own the data on your body,
PHR refers to Personal Healthcare Record: your lifelong collection of personal medical data,
Machines refers to the fact that you can manage your PHR data through specialized machines, in the cloud.
Note that this site is minimalistic, since it is just an online supplement of research papers that provide further context and background information.
