Abstract:
The process of developing an eHealth records system over the last six years is described. The work took place at seven care organizations in the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and was part of a series of pilot studies assessing the effectiveness of a behavioral monitoring system in the delivery of care to at-risk elderly. A research tool created to systematically collect data on alerts, care actions and health outcomes evolved into a home care electronic records system. The system is fully functional on any smart mobile device and can be used with a wide variety of pervasive health care applications or as a stand-alone. Five essential design features that impact the future of such home care electronic records system are discussed.
