the provider c. Steps 10 and 11 in the diagram represent the case in which the patient delegates VM access to a care provider c which represents for this use case a physiotherapist from another hospital.
About personalized medicine (see Figure 7), the patient first acquires the DNA sequence from a specialized care institution
(such as baseclear [19]) and then stores it into MyPHRMachines. In order to receive genetic counseling, the patient starts
a new VM with software specialized for genome analysis and grants access to it to a medical expert. MyPHRMachines can
also provide VMs with genome sequence file converters [20], but for the sake of simplicity we focus on genomic diagnostics
in this paper.
