Specialized Mobile Health Design Using the Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF): A Case Study in Child and Maternity Health Services Organization

Mobile health applications are well known effective to provide education materials, receive personalized prompts, as a reminder system, and also create great impacts as early diagnose system and even facilitate a doctor to recommend treatments for patients in rural area as well as in the disaster area. E-health projects failed with the major problem was “no clear definition of the system requirements”. Another challenge for health organization that have specialized units are flexibility, easily expandable, and sustainability information system architecture to be integrated. Therefore, providing a good architecture design for build mobile health application is important. This research have done initial study to particular units in health care organization (Maternal and Child Health Services - PKIA), observation, site interview, and data collection. The research main phase are analyze and design TOGAF architecture for PKIA organization. TOGAF produced some tables and matrices to address detailed requirements in specialized mobile health services. The result from enterprise architecture than becomes reference for the design and development of mobile information system based on service oriented architecture and can be used on mobile devices for multiple platforms. For future work, we will create a model to map the diagrams and tables of enterprise architecture into specific software design, and work for detailed architecture validation using ALMA and object-oriented metrics.
