Abstract :
Describes the architectural considerations of HYGEIAnet (the Regional Health Telematics Network of Crete), the R&D issues involved in the design, development and implementation of a modular and configurable Home Care Platform that supports different health and social care domains, and the results of the clinical pilots to evaluate the platform and the service. In addition, the R&D issues that must be addressed in order to transform and extend the aforementioned platform for the support of personal health management services are presented.
