Abstract

The aim of this work is to establish some basic methodological aspects that should not be ignored in the arduous task of the development of telemedical platforms for the efficient control and management of chronic elderly patients. Among the main methodological proposed concepts should be: an integrated market-oriented approach, a user-centered design, an evaluation-driven development and a work plan organization. This work presents the methodology applied to Autonomy, Motivation,& Individual Self Management for COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Patients (AMICA), project funded by the European Union (EU).
