“…Many object-oriented data models and DBMSs have been proposed to support the development of nontraditional and complex applications (Banerjee, Kim, & Kim, 1988;Beech, 1987;Fotouhi et al, 1994;Fotouhi et al, 1992a;Kim, Banerjee, Chou, G.F., & Woelk, 1987). In the object-oriented paradigm, an object is defined by the two parameters: structure and state (Fotouhi et al, 1994). The structure (SR) of an object defines the structural and behavioral capabilities of that object, which is defined by a set of instance-variables, methods and/or rules (or integrity constraints).…”

“…This inability of relational DBMSs gave birth to the concept of the objectoriented paradigm and later object-oriented DBMSs. Many object-oriented data models and DBMSs have been proposed to support the development of nontraditional and complex applications (Banerjee, Kim, & Kim, 1988;Beech, 1987;Fotouhi et al, 1994;Fotouhi et al, 1992a;Kim, Banerjee, Chou, G.F., & Woelk, 1987).

“…Therefore, keeping in view, the importance of historical data and its usages, the model of the temporal object system (TOS) is used to model mHealth care environment. In the past, the model has been used successfully to model engineering and other application domains (Fotouhi, Shah, Ahmed, & Grosky, 1994;Fotouhi, Shah, & Grosky, 1992a;Shah, Fotouhi, Grosky, Al-Dhelan, & Vashishta, 1993). This model empowers the users of a mHealth care environment/system to store all objects of the system and changes to the objects temporally and uniformly.…”

This article describes how mobile health (mHealth) has grown from infancy stage to toddler stage due to advances in the technology. It has the potential for further growth as it is low-cost health care. For its further growth, it is necessary to widen its scope. In this article, a proposal is presented to develop a new and advanced mHealth care system, and its first step that is modelling is reported. In modelling, historically, a model of a temporal object system (TOS) is used. The model empowers users of the proposed mHealth care system to define, retrieve and manipulate all objects historically, in a uniform fashion, and also to keep historically the changes that occur to the objects. Later, these historically stored objects can be consulted during making essential and crucial decisions about the patients (objects) and other objects of the system, and it can save both lives and money. Also, the stored objects can be used in the future planning and research.
