Abstract	With the advancement in mobile technology, there are lots of prospect for the health domain. Specifically, the accessibility of the electronic health record (EHR) can be extended to the mobile node to promote remote healthcare delivery; this is known as mobile Health or mHealth. However, supporting real-time access and services synchronization in highly distributed mobile environments can be challenging due to the fact that mobile devices rely on wireless communication mediums to exchange data. These mediums can be unstable due to bandwidth fluctuations and the mobility of the healthcare professionals. In this work, we examine how to provide real-time accessibility of the medical record in the mobile environment by overcoming the network-level limitations. Thus, we propose distributed cloud-hosted middleware platform that enables the mobile devices to receive updates. Since the middleware are distributed, a methodology called the “best-proximity” accessibility is enforced so that the healthcare professionals are able to connect to the middleware that offers the most optimal request–response time. The evaluation of the framework, called Med App, shows that: (1) medical data dissemination and accessibility can be achieved in a low-latency fashion, (2) data state can be managed efficiently through a policy-based consistency model, and (3) the resources of the mobile device can be efficiently utilized through services composition on the middleware.
