Abstract:
PiCADo is a pilot project of domomedicine. Domomedicine has been defined by the French Academy of Technologies as "all procedures and care, sometimes complex, given at the patient's home or in his social and professional activities, [...] based on modern technologies. It aims at facilitating home support and promoting medical progress". Domomedicine can be seen as a system coordinating eHealth, telemedicine and social medicine. Through the PiCADo platform -a multi-user and multi-pathology technological platform- the PiCADo project will allow home monitoring of patients with cancer or cognitive impairment with loss of autonomy, based on the latest medical and scientific advances highlighting the importance of biological rhythms in the development of such diseases. As a work in progress, the technological platform has been developed through a collaborative methodology.
