Paper Abstract:	The recent shift in healthcare from reactive to preventive activity results in inclusion of the patient in the healthcare process. To fully integrate the patient in healthcare processes it is of crucial importance to empower them with adequate tools and methods to control their own health. This goal has been getting fulfilled with the development and wide application of e-Health services in various medical domains. One of the important challenges emerging from the implementation of e-Health services lies in enabling seamless management and sharing of patient’s health data. To this end electronic health records and personal health records are being developed with adequate mechanisms enabling the patient to manage their data. Attempts at integrating these two worlds are also being undertaken. However, with the vast amount of work devoted to the design and development of the Future Internet it seems appropriate to match requirements for the medical data maintenance and transmission with the opportunities created by the network of the future design towards fulfilling the needs of innovative e-Health and telemedical applications. In this paper we present the results of our work aimed at the design and experimental implementation of a Future Internet enabled Patient Digital Library integrating Personal Health Records with Electronic Medical Record and Electronic Health Record systems on a content aware network.
