Tracking one's lifestyle is becoming an increasingly popular topic regarding mobile application development, since it enables the user to have a broad overview of his or her health or lifestyle status. This thesis describes the realization of a prototype personal health record for the Android operating system, which aims at managing the user's medical records and sharing of clinical information between concrete health systems. Sharing and sending independently of the system or programming environment is conditioned by the use of protocols and standards. In addition, the most widespread standards for exchanging medical information, standards HL7 and openEHR, with the implementation and use of a standard in the European Union, epSOS, are also described.
