The distributed object group framework (DOGF) enables easier integration of distributed objects to healthcare home applications. This paper describes a healthcare information management system for supporting healthcare home services based on DOGF. The system architecture consists of healthcare database management tool, framework, sensor manager and physical elements such as sensors, devices and appliances. The focus of this paper is on the design and construction of a database system in a framework to support home healthcare services.
