Abstract:
This paper presents work in progress towards a platform system aimed at providing support in e-health control and provision of location services for wandering patients through real-time medical and mobility information analysis. These critical aspects are pivotal for the PAVISALE project whose core ideas are presented in this paper. The PAVISALE platform provides services for patients, caregivers and for e-health service operators. Patients are enabled to receive notifications and suggestions in response to emergency, contingency situations or deviations from health and mobility patterns. Caregivers receive such notifications as well for further assistance and they are also enabled to analyse health information and mobility behaviour of patients during time scales and territorial scopes. E-Health service operators are enabled to program e-health and mobility control guidelines according to specific needs of wandering patients. A platform system for e-health control and mobility for wandering patients is possible if and only if efficient and robust wearable devices are designed and they are integrated into a holistic analysis system that can monitor, analyse and store medical information in run-time aligned to the needs of wandering patients’ health control and mobility constraints.
