Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to highlight the Patient-Centered e-Health (PCEH) concept, introduce its importance and demonstrate a multidisciplinary project that combines advanced technologies. The project combines several aspects of PCEH functionality, such as: (a) homecare telemedicine technologies, (b) e-prescribing, e-referral, e-learning and (c) state-of-the-art technologies like cloud computing and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), will lead to an innovative integrated e-health platform that delivers many benefits to the society, the economy, the industry and the research community. This paper provides insights of the PCEH concept and the current stages of the project. In doing so, we aim to increase the awareness of this significant work and disseminate the knowledge gained so far through our effort.
