Abstract:
In this article two main requirements on medical documentation in the field of assisted technologies at home (so called AAL) and a process model are introduced. For an integrated health care, the medical documents make interoperability possible. These document formats should be able to be at least structured for further information processing. In the field of AAL it is important to store functional aspects of human activities and data containing uncertainty because patient's health state is measured in a different way than in hospitals. Unknown states of circumstances and context, bad quality sensors and 24/7 measurements can be made. This leads to data containing uncertainty and trends (e.g fitness trend). This data can be stored in structured medical documents though data types and code systems. CDA documents are a medical standard format with a machine-processable and human-readable part. CDA has to be extended in order to be able to represent functional data through equation and data with uncertainty. A process model supports the creation of structured medical documents with AAL-specific data. It supports the mapping of AAL data into a structured document by an application flow. This process is supported by a model-driven technique which makes data description and transformation possible.
