Abstract:
Many eHealth technologies struggle with their implementation. Too often a well-designed eHealth technology fails to be successful in practice. One way to assess the implementation early in the development of an eHealth technology is by eHealth Business Modelling. This paper introduces the use for business modelling in eHealth and what business models are. Followed by a brief description of the ceHRes roadmap, which is our development approach for eHealth technologies that connects Human-Centered Design with eHealth Business Modelling. We then focus on the business modelling part of this roadmap and describe the instruments we currently use for eHealth Business Modelling to work towards a sustainable implementation for an eHealth technology. With the resulting business model, the potential implementation of the eHealth technology can be assessed a priori with its relevant stakeholders and strategic choices for an optimal value co-creation can be made and operationalized.
