Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure teach a method and apparatus for processing and providing health data. For example, an electronic device may include a memory, and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive a request for health data of a user from an object configured to collect the health data and confirm medical certification information corresponding to the object. The processor may further generate translated health data by performing translation on at least one part of the health data on the basis of the medical certification information, and deliver the translated health data to the object. The object may be an application, a sensor, or a second electronic device configured to collect the health data, and the health data is configured to comprises health data acquired from a different object.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to;

receive a request for health data of a user from a first object configured to collect the health data,

confirm medical certification information corresponding to the first object,

generate translated health data by performing translation on at least one part of the health data based on the medical certification information, and

deliver the translated health data to the first object.

2. The electronic device of claim 1,

wherein the first object comprises an application, a sensor, or a second electronic device configured to collect the health data, and

wherein the health data is configured to comprise health data acquired from a second object different from the first object.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

generate the translated health data from the at least one part of the health data by using a first translation scheme if the medical certification information corresponds to first medical certification information, and

generate the translated health data from the at least one part of the health data if the medical certification information corresponds to second medical certification information.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

confirm a health data usage of the first object based on the medical certification information, and

perform the translation based on whether the health data comprises data in a wider range than a range of data corresponding to the health data usage.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to perform, in response to receiving the request for the health data, at least one of:

acquiring the health data by using a sensor different from the first object,

acquiring the health data from an application different from the first object, and

acquiring the health data by requesting the health data from a different electronic device.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

confirm first medical certification information stored in the electronic device, and

in response to an external electronic device being the first object, confirm second medical certification information stored in the external electronic device.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to perform the translation on at least one part of the health data by using at least one translation scheme among simplifying, categorizing, abstracting, and deleting.

8. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

select a source of health data corresponding to an item configured to display health information,

determine medical certification information corresponding to the source,

display a certification identifier corresponding to the item and based on the medical certification information, and

display the health data corresponding to the item.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processor is configured to:

in response to a selection of a medically certified application as the source, provide the health data based on detailed medical information, and

in response to a selection of an application that is not medically certified as the source, provide the health data based on simple medical information by using at least one translation scheme among simplifying, categorizing, abstracting, and deleting.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

in response to the selection of an application, determine whether the selected application is medically certified, and

display medical certification information corresponding to the selected application based on the determination.

11. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving a request for health data of a user from a first object configured to collect the health data;

confirming medical certification information corresponding to the first object;

generating translated health data by performing translation on at least one part of the health data based on the medical certification information; and

delivering the translated health data to the first object.

12. The method of claim 11,

wherein the first object comprises an application, a sensor, or a second electronic device configured to collect the health data, and

wherein the health data is configured to comprise health data acquired from a second object different from the first object.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the generating comprises:

generating the translated health data from the at least one part of the health data by using a first translation scheme if the medical certification information corresponds to first medical certification information; and

generating the translated health data from the at least one part of the health data if the medical certification information corresponds to second medical certification information.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the generating comprises:

confirming a health data usage of the first object based on the medical certification information; and

performing the translation based on the health data comprising data in a wider range than a range of data corresponding to the usage.

15. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

in response to receiving the request for the health data, acquiring the health data by using a sensor different from the first object, acquiring the health data from an application different from the first object, or acquiring the health data by requesting to a different electronic device,.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the confirming comprises:

confirming first medical certification information stored in the electronic device; and

in response to an external electronic device being the first object, confirming second medical certification information stored in the external electronic device.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the performing of the translation comprises performing the translation on at least one part of the health data by using at least one translation scheme among simplifying, categorizing, abstracting, and deleting.

18. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

selecting a source of health data corresponding to an item configured to display health information;

determining medical certification information corresponding to the source;

displaying a certification identifier corresponding to the item and based on the medical certification information; and

displaying the health data corresponding to the item.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

in response to a selection of a medically certified application as the source, providing and displaying the health data based on detailed medical information, and

in response to a selection of an application that is not medically certified as the source, providing and displaying the health data based on simple medical information by using at least one translation scheme among simplifying, categorizing, abstracting, and deleting.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the displaying comprises:

in response to the selection of an application, determining whether the selected application is medically certified; and

displaying the medical certification information corresponding to the selected application based on the determination.
