Since the HITECH Act of 2009, adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems in US healthcare organizations has increased significantly. Along with the rapid increase in usage of EHR, cybercrimes are on the rise as well. Two recent cybercrime cases from early 2015, the Anthem and Premera breaches, are examples of the alarming increase of cybercrimes in this domain. Although modem Information Technology (IT) systems have evolved to become very complex and dynamic, cybersecurity strategies have remained static. Cyber attackers are now adopting more adaptive, sophisticated tactics, yet the cybersecurity counter tactics have proven to be inadequate and ineffective. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the recent Anthem security breach to assess the vulnerabilities of Anthem's data systems using current cybersecurity frameworks and guidelines and the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Process (STAMP) method. The STAMP analysis revealed Anthem's cybersecurity strategy needs to be reassessed and redesigned from a systems perspective using a holistic approach. Unless our society and government understand cybersecurity from a sociotechnical perspective, we will never be equipped to protect valuable information and will always lose this battle.

Usage in information technology (IT) have improved efficiency and quality in many industries. Healthcare has not been one of them. Although some administrative IT systems, such as those for billing, scheduling, and inventory management, are already in place in the healthcare industry, little adoption of clinical IT, such as Electronic Medical Record Systems (EMR-S) and Clinical Decision Support tools, has occurred. India's healthcare information technology market is slow with technology adoption but there is little traction shown in last couple of years. This growth is expected to hit US $1.45 billion in 2018, more than three times the US $381.3 million reached in 2012. The increase in adoption of electronic health records, mHealth, telemedicine, and Web-based services has made electronic patient data expand, necessitating the implementation of robust IT systems in Indian healthcare institutions. Information technology (IT) has the potential to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of health care. Diffusion of IT in health care is generally low (varying, however, with the application and setting) but surveys indicate that providers plan to increase their investments. Drivers of investment in IT include the promise of quality and efficiency gains. Barriers include the cost and complexity of IT implementation, which often necessitates significant work process and cultural changes. Given IT's potential, both the private and public sectors have engaged in numerous efforts to promote its use within and across health care settings. Delivering quality health care requires providers and patients to integrate complex information from many different sources. Thus, increasing the ability of physicians, nurses, clinical technicians, and others to readily access and use the right information about their patients should improve care. The purpose of this thesis is to assess the current state of healthcare in India and specifically look into the emerging technology trends in healthcare IT. During analysis secondary data has been used. Various articles and research papers published in national and international journals are used. India is hub of IT and its use is increasing in health sector.

Affordability of healthcare is a growing concern across the world. For India, with a population of over 1.2 billion people and one third of world's poorest, to provide affordable and sustainable healthcare to all its citizens becomes even more challenging. The country faces the triple burden of controlling communicable diseases, managing non communicable diseases, and limiting the deaths from injury and mental health. The public healthcare system is underfunded and underutilized while the private facilities are unregulated and unaccountable for quality and cost of care. The high reliance of the population on the private facilities, low insurance coverage, and high emphasis on curative care than the preventive care is further making the cost prohibitive for the general population. There is a lot to be desired in the areas of Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, and Research and Development for a holistic development of healthcare system in India. This thesis attempts to model the current healthcare system and how different entities of the system interact to influence the affordability. The simulation of the model projects the affordability in the next 50 years. The study also checks the impact of three different policies on the affordability of care.

In the current shift in the US healthcare system, lower cost, higher quality of care, access and safety are the main drivers that are effecting changes. Patient compliance with medication and technology enabled wellness and engagement programs play an important role in ensuring the cost and quality of care is reduced. In a recent study, the overall cost of poor medication adherence, measured in otherwise avoidable medical spending, is close to $310 billion annually, representing approximately 14% of total healthcare expenditures. There have been several studies analyzing the reasons for and impact of non-adherence and solutions to achieve increasing compliance. With the recent wave in healthcare technology, the scope of prescription medication adherence needs to be expanded to include patient engagement and their awareness towards lifestyle changes and managing their own health. This thesis engages in an analysis of these compliance issues and in understanding the relationships among the various stakeholders involved. It also analyses the several technology platforms and solutions from mobile health to "gamification" and social networks from a business, user and regulatory standpoint. It looks into how these newer health technologies helps the individual in adhering and realizing novel insights into their own patterns related to medication, lifestyle and general health. Further, working with a health technology startup catering to the behavioral care market, a real world application of a health technology product that utilizes technology based patient assessment, decision support and patient communication, will be evaluated to explore how it will help in delivering value to several stakeholders.

The Hospital to Home architecture aims to provide a successful transition for patients leaving the hospital in order to improve health outcomes and minimize hospital readmission. This thesis analyzes the current hospital to home system, explores its flows and proposes a better architecture to improve the patient transition from the hospital to home. It makes a significant contribution by proposing a new architecture based on a patient-centric approach within the framework of the Hospital to Home (H2H) initiative called Caregiver Coordination. In this architecture, we propose the creation of a web and mobile based application that allows patients and caregivers to interact easily with each other to help manage the patient's wellbeing. We include a short summary illustrating how this new architecture can address the two main problems: (1) the decentralization of the discharge plan and (2) the dependency on the interactions among diverse stakeholders. We propose to: 1. Analyze and critique the existing hospital to home architecture 2. Follow an existing architecture pattern/framework 3. Recommend a new architecture 4. Create a Caregiver Coordination application using an open source framework to enable a successful transition of patients from hospital to home

Повний текст джерелаThe research was conducted as part of a socio-tech initiative undertaken at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. The socio-tech initiative overall focus was on addressing issues faced by rural and under-resourced communities in South Africa, specifically looking at Home-Based Healthcare (HBHC) primarily in the Western Cape. As research into the HBHC context in rural and under-resourced communities continued numerous issues around data and data-elements came to light. These data issues were especially prevalent in relation to the various paper forms being used by the HBHC initiatives that attempt to deliver care in these communities. The communities have the tendency to suffer from poor access to formal healthcare services and healthcare facilities. The data issues were primarily in terms of how data was defines and used within the HBHC initiatives. Within the HBHC initiatives that cater for rural and under-resourced communities there was a clear prevalence of paper-based systems, and a very low penetration of IT-based solution. Because similar and related data-elements are used throughout the paper forms and within different context these data-elements are inconsistently used and presented. The paper forms further obfuscate these inconsistencies as the paper forms regularly change due to internal and external factors. When these paper forms are changed date elements are added or removed without the changes to the underlying ontologies being considered.

Повний текст джерелаIn the U.S. medical sector, software failures in safety-critical systems in healthcare have led to serious adverse health problems, including patient deaths and recalls of medical systems. Despite the efforts in developing techniques to build resilient systems, there is a lack of consensus regarding the definition of resilience metrics and a limited number of quantitative analysis approaches. In addition, there is insufficient guidance on evaluating resilience design patterns and the value they can bring to safety-critical systems.
This research employed the interdependency analysis framework to evaluate the static resilience of safety-critical systems used in the healthcare field and identified software subsystems that are vulnerable to failures. Resilience design patterns were first implemented to these subsystems to improve their ability to withstand failures. This implementation was followed by an evaluation to determine the overall impacts on system’s static resilience.
The methodology used a common medical system structure that collects common attributes from various medical devices and reflects major functionalities offered by multiple medical systems. Fault tree analysis and Bayesian analysis were used to evaluate the static resilience aspects of medical safety-critical systems, and two design patterns were evaluated within the praxis context: Monitoring and N-modular redundancy resilience patterns.
The results ultimately showed that resilience design patterns improve the static resilience of safety-critical systems significantly. While this research suggests the importance of resilience design patterns, this study was limited to explore the impact of structural resilience patterns on static resilience. Thus, to evaluate the overall resilience of the system, more research is needed to evaluate dynamic resilience in addition to studying the impact of different types of resilience design patterns.

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction
This thesis explores how we can increase patient safety through medicine management and administration in inpatient care units in somatic hospitals in Sweden and Norway by combining tools and systems which allows nurses to work safely, precicely, and efficiently whenever they are managing or administering medication to patients.
Background
Nurses have the formal, academic, and moral responsibility in medicine management and administration in hospitals (1). The nurse must ensure that the medication is given to the correct patient, that it is the correct kind of medication, correct form, correct strength, correct dose, correct administration method, and that it is given at the correct time (1). Regardless of these 7 points of control, adverse drug events still happen.
Methodology
Through a human centered design approach this thesis explores design challenges and opportunities to how we can improve the medicine managment and administration process within somatic hospitals in Sweden and Norway.
Result
The final design proposal, Memo, suggests an ecosystem which make all medication traceable by incorporating a closed loop medicine management approach, making information accessible and consistent across digital and physical platforms, and having a precise, accessible, and informative electronic medicine list. Memo eliminates risks of medicine errors by designing barriers within the system which make it harder for the nurse to make an error. The aim is to increase patient safety.
Memo is developed together with nurses and pharmacists from 3 different hospitals in Sweden and Norway.

The Healthcare industry, just like any industry, is constantly racing to stay abreast with pace of technological innovations, especially at such a time where the industry is experiencing a strain on the global healthcare infrastructure. Specifically, the evolution of record management systems in the healthcare system has taken a slow and gradual transformation with each stage of transformation carrying over certain aspects and functions of previous stages. A survey of record management practices reveals that record management begun with paper-based records that have since partially been replaced with centralized Electronic Health Records (EHR). With the advent of Electronic Health Records enabled by distributed ledgers, we continue to see the inclusion of traditional paper-based functions beyond centralized EHR functions. Electronic data sharing in the healthcare ecosystem is constrained by interoperability challenges with different providers choosing to implement systems that respond to increasing their productivity. Prioritizing a patient-focused strategy during implementation of EHRs forces providers to implement systems that are more interoperable. A system engineering approach was adopted to guide the development and valuation of candidate architectures from Stakeholder analysis to concept generation and enumeration. Nine (9) key design decisions were selected with their combinations yielding 512 feasible hybrid architectures. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid EHR solution combining distributed ledger technologies and Internet of Medical Things, which contributes towards providing value-based healthcare. Leveraging properties of distributed ledgers and IoMT, the hybrid solution interconnects various data sources for health records to provide real-time record creation and monitoring whilst enabling data sharing and management in a secure manner.

Повний текст джерелаCollaboration between caregivers is a must to make it possible to deliver high-quality care to care recipients, but if the collaboration fails, the care recipients risk suffering. One way to promote collaboration is through social software, which, due to its communicative and relational properties, has shown positive results regarding the ability to promote collaboration within various organizations and professional areas. Previous research on social software in healthcare has focused on healthcare requirements and care recipients, and partly neglected the collaboration between caregivers in real work processes. Care-related professions also include several ethical and legal adjustments, which have led to complex services that will be used in environments full of disruptions. This study was conducted with a design study methods approach, in which design elements from aspects of collaboration in the form of trust, communication and awareness were implemented in a prototype to investigate how collaboration can be promoted in a healthcare context. The healthcare context in which the study was conducted was a facility for activities of daily living stationed in Sweden. The study resulted in seven design proposals for how social software in healthcare can be designed to promote collaboration.

Повний текст джерелаDet kan verka märkligt att påstå att det är svårt att designa innovativ informationsteknik (IT) i en tid då den tekniska utvecklingen går snabbare än någonsin förr. Men trots de många möjligheter som den snabba utvecklingen erbjuder så designar vi ofta IT som liknar existerande artefakter, vilket resulterar i inkrementell snarare än radikal IT-design. Samtidigt pekas IT-innovation ut som kritisk för att möta de samhälleliga utmaningar som vi står inför, inte minst i den offentliga sektorn där en växande och åldrande befolkning, ökade krav från medborgare och minskade skatteintäkter ställer stora krav på offentliga organisationer. Av denna anledning behöver vi förbättra vår förståelse för varför det är svårt att designa innovativ IT. Tidigare forskning inom detta ämne har främst fokuserat på mänskliga och sociala aspekter men inte uppmärksammat IT. I denna avhandling föreslås att den sociomateriella teorin agentiell realism kan bidra till att belysa ITs roll i innovativ IT-design genom att se IT som sociomateriell. Därmed är avhandlingens övergripande syfte att applicera agentiell realism på ett empiriskt fall för att utforska och förklara varför det är svårt att designa innovativ IT. För att uppfylla syftet har en kvalitativ fallstudie genomförts i offentlig sjukvård. Det empiriska fallet är ett exempel på ett försök att designa innovativ IT i en sjukvårdskontext. Det empiriska materialet genererades genom deltagande observationer, inklusive videofilmning, och semistrukturerade intervjuer. Materialet analyserades i flera omgångar, både med och utan teoretisk lins. I analysen där agentiell realism applicerades sågs IT som entangled (’intrasslad’) med världen. Denna analys fokuserade på vilka gränser som IT producerade och hur dessa gränser hade konsekvenser för vad som var möjligt respektive omöjligt att designa. Denna avhandling illustrerar hur IT är producerad och producerande både vad gäller materia och betydelser, och därmed är agentiell – IT gör skillnad i världen. Vad som är möjligt att designa är inte enbart begränsat av sociala strukturer utan också av ITs materialitet, vilka gränser som IT bidrar till att producera och de materiell-diskursiva praktiker som framställer IT. Innovativ ITdesign innebär att designa materiella konfigurationer som skapar gränser vilka skiljer sig från vad som blivit till innan och därmed avviker från rådande materiell-diskursiva praktiker. Det är dock svårt att avvika från dessa eftersom materiell-diskursiva praktiker är agentiella och definierar vilka gränser som är meningsfulla och legitima. Det är därmed svårt att designa innovativ IT då innovativ IT-design behöver både producera gränser som avviker från agentiella materiell-diskursiva praktiker och också uppnå legitimitet. Med denna förklaring ger avhandlingen ett kunskapsbidrag och bidrar till ny förståelse för varför det är svårt att designa innovativ IT. Avhandlingen bidrar också till att konceptualisera IT-artefakten genom att betona ITs sociomaterialitet och att ge exempel på hur IT kan förstås som producerad, producerande, agentiell och entangled. Slutligen ger avhandlingen också ett empiriskt och metodologiskt bidrag genom att demonstrera hur en agentiell realistisk fallstudie kan utföras inom informatikfältet.

Повний текст джерелаThe fields of application for artificial intelligence is constantly increasing, which is not suprising as the AI's ability to solve complex problems often exceeds the human counterpart. The development of AI systems has come so far that somtimes not even the developers themselves can explain how the system came to its conclusion; which has made the possibility of examining, understanding and troubleshooting outcomes almost non-existent. Since today's AI systems do not offer explanations for the outcomes, it has resulted in resistance on the part of the end user. The research are eXplainable AI (XAI) believes that using generated explanations, AI systems can become more understandable to the end user. One area that is in great need of AI systems is healthcare, especially for diagnosing sepsis where a rapid diagnosis drastically reduces the mortality of the disease. The purpose of this study was to develop design guidelines for the development of explanations that are intended to promote trust and understanding of AI-based clinical decision support intended for the diagnosis of sepsis.The study began with a feasibility study consisting of a questionnaire and a literature study, then amid-fi prototype was developed that was followed by user experience tests. Collected data were analyzed using top-down and an inductive analysis after which a final result was obtained.The results ensured that there are several factors that need to be incorporated in the development of explanations for the promotion of trust and understanding. For increased trust, an explanation needs to be supplemented with data that allows the end user to validate the explanation and meet the user's information needs. For an increased understanding, an explanation should contain information that allows the user to understand the reason for the main content of the explanation, for example "Xdepends on Z and Y".The trust and understanding in this study was only measured at one occasion, as such the question of how the guidelines would affect trust and understanding of AI systems over time remains.

The US healthcare system is looked at from the point of view of various stakeholders and how its current structure has emerged over the years. With the shifting demographics, change in disease mix, ICT revolution and other factors at play, the system is in a state of flux. Sensor technology on the other hand has also progressed over the years to reach a point where low-cost mass-produced smart sensors are becoming omnipresent. A variety of such sensors are now available, and new ones are being developed for specific needs, like for continuous health monitoring systems. New wireless sensing technologies are redefining the care services, processes and customer expectations. This is especially true for chronic disease management and eldercare. We develop a view point to understand at a broad level how the US healthcare system is currently evolving and what role could new technologies, like wireless sensing, play in shaping its near future. These new technologies are slowly gaining foothold in the market and could possibly reach a point of inflection soon where the population starts to adopt them in masses. By creating a new mental model of how various parts in the system interact with each other, we try and develop an understanding of which factors might affect the speed of adoption of these new technologies into the system.

Повний текст джерелаBakgrund. Mängden sopor som slängs ökar för vart år som går. Forskning visar att79% av all plast som slängs går till deponi, 12% går till förbränning och resterandemängd plast (9%) återvinns. Under år 2020 har förbrukningen av skyddsartiklar av engångstyp ökat på grund av den Covid-19-pandemi som bröt ut i början av året. Den ökade förbrukningen har sin tur medfört nedskräpning av skyddsartiklar i naturen i en ökad omfattning. Till följd av detta har Volvo Group utformat ett uppdrag i syfte att få hjälp med att nå sin nollvision. Visionen innebär att utsläpp, olyckor och produktionsstopp ska upphöra helt och hållet. Uppdraget tilldelades en gruppstudenter på Blekinge Tekniska Högskola och Stanford University. Studenterna fick i uppgift att angripa problemet och komma med en lösning som uppfyller företagets nollvision. Syfte. Syftet med denna rapport är att genom design thinking- strategin finna en lösning som kan skapa ett cirkulärt system och appliceras som ett produkt-servicesystem (PSS). Målet är att kunna applicera detta system inom Volvo koncernen, men att även kunna presentera möjligheten att göra systemet tillämpningsbart inom sjukvården. Metod. I rent forskningssyfte användes Design Research Methodology för att rama in forskningen som skedde parallellt med utvecklingsprocessen. Utvecklingsprocessen följde ramarna för Design Thinking som presenterar olika typer av verktyg för design och utveckling av en produkt. Resultat. Det resultat som presenteras i denna rapport är ett cirkulärt system applicerat i en form av en PSS. Det som möjliggör detta system är ett material som tillåter reproduktion av engångshandskar som går att applicera inom sophanteringsindustrin. Detta indikerar även på att ett likande system kan medföra att sjukvården kan bli självständig i sitt användande av skyddsutrustning. Slutsatser. Ett cirkulärt system som uppfyller Volvos nollvision genom att skydda deras arbetare sluter ett kretslopp för en typ av skyddsutrustning. Det leder även tillökad tillgänglighet av utrusning. Detta system har potentialen att appliceras inom sjukvården i form av ett centraliserat system på sjukhus som tillför mindre enheter med tillverkade handskar.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has a severe HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) burden and the management of the disease is a priority, especially in the public healthcare sector. One element of managing the disease, is determining when to initiate an HIV positive individual onto anti-retroviral therapy (ART), a treatment that the patient will remain on for the remainder of their lifetime. For the majority of HIV positive individuals in the country, this decision is governed by the results of a CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) test that is performed at set time intervals from the time that the patient is diagnosed with HIV until the patient is initiated onto ART. A device for CD4 measurement at the point of care (POC), the Alere PIMA™, has recently become commercially available. This has prompted a need to evaluate whether CD4 testing at the POC (i.e. at the patient serving healthcare facility) should be incorporated into the South African public healthcare sector's HIV diagnostic service provision model. One challenge associated with the management of HIV in the country is the relatively large percentage of patients that are lost to follow-up at various points in the HIV treatment process. There is extensive evidence that testing CD4 levels at the POC (rather than in a laboratory, as is the current practice) reduces the percentage of patients that are lost to follow-up before being initiated onto ART. Therefore, though POC CD4 testing is more expensive than laboratory-based CD4 testing, the use of this technology in South Africa should be investigated for its potential to positively influence health outcomes. In this research, a multi-objective location science model is used to generate scenarios for the provision of CD4 testing capability. For each scenario, CD4 testing provision at 3 279 ART initiation facilities is considered. For each facility, either (i) a POC device is placed at the site; or (ii) the site's testing workload is referred to one of the 61 CD4 laboratories in the country. To develop this model, the characteristics of eight basic facility location models are compared to the attributes of the real-world problem in order to select the most suitable one for application. The selected model's objective, assumptions and inputs are adjusted in order to adequately model the realworld problem. The model is solved using the cross-entropy method for multi-objective optimisation and the results are verified using a commercial algorithm. Nine scenarios are selected from the acquired Pareto set for detailed presentation. In addition, details on the status quo as well as a scenario where POC testing is used as widely as possible are also presented. These scenarios are selected to provide decision-makers with information on the range of options that should be considered, from no or very limited use to widespread use of POC testing. Arguably the most valuable contribution of this research is to provide an indication of the optimal trade-off points between an improved healthcare outcome due to POC CD4 testing and increased healthcare spending on POC CD4 testing in the South African public healthcare context. This research also contributes to the location science literature and the metaheuristic literature.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika gaan gebuk onder `n swaar MIV- (menslike-immuniteitsgebreksvirus-) las en die bestuur van die siekte is `n prioriteit, veral in die openbare gesondheidsorgsektor. Een element in die bestuur van die siekte is om te bepaal wanneer `n MIV-positiewe individu met antiretrovirale- (ARV-)behandeling behoort te begin, waarop pasiënte dan vir die res van hul lewens bly. Vir die meeste MIV-positiewe individue in die land word hierdie besluit bepaal deur die uitslae van `n CD4- (cluster of differentiation 4-)toets wat met vasgestelde tussenposes uitgevoer word vandat die pasiënt met MIV gediagnoseer word totdat hy of sy met ARV-behandeling begin. `n Toestel vir CD4-meting by die punt van sorg (\POC"), die Alere PIMA™, is onlangs kommersieel beskikbaar gestel. Dit het `n behoefte laat ontstaan om te bepaal of CD4-toetsing by die POC (met ander woorde, by die gesondheidsorgfasiliteit waar die pasiënt bedien word) by die MIV-diagnostiese diensleweringsmodel van die Suid-Afrikaanse openbare gesondheidsorgsektor ingesluit behoort te word. Een uitdaging met betrekking tot MIV-bestuur in die land is die betreklik groot persentasie pasiënte wat verlore gaan vir nasorg in die verskillende stadiums van die MIV-behandelingsproses. Heelwat bewyse dui daarop dat die toetsing van CD4-vlakke by die POC (eerder as in `n laboratorium, soos wat tans die praktyk is) die persentasie pasiënte wat verlore gaan vir nasorg voordat hulle met ARV-behandeling kan begin, verminder. Daarom, hoewel CD4-toetsing by die POC duurder is as toetsing in `n laboratorium, behoort die gebruik van hierdie tegnologie in Suid-Afrika ondersoek te word. In hierdie studie is `n meerdoelige liggingswetenskapmodel gebruik om scenario's vir die voorsiening van CD4-toetsvermoë te skep. Vir elke scenario word CD4-toetsvermoë by 3 279 ARV-inisiasie fasiliteite oorweeg. Vir elke fasiliteit word toetsvermoë verskaf deur (i) die plasing van POC-toestelle by die fasiliteit, of (ii) verwysing vir laboratoriumgebaseerde toetsing by een van die 61 CD4-laboratoriums in die land. Die kenmerke van agt basiese fasiliteitsliggingsmodelle is met die kenmerke van die werklike probleem vergelyk om die mees geskikte model vir toepassing op die werklike probleem te bepaal. Die doelwitte, aannames en insette van die gekose model is daarna aangepas om die werklike probleem voldoende te modelleer. Die model is opgelos met behulp van die kruis-entropie-metode vir meerdoelige optimering, waarna die resultate deur middel van `n kommersiële algoritme bevestig is. Nege scenario's uit die verworwe Pareto-stel word uitvoerig aangebied. Daarbenewens beskryf die studieresultate die besonderhede van die status quo sowel as `n scenario waar POC-toetsing so wyd moontlik gebruik word. Hierdie scenario's word aangebied om besluitnemers van inligting te voorsien oor die verskeidenheid moontlikhede wat oorweeg kan word, wat wissel van geen of baie beperkte tot wydverspreide gebruik van POC-toetsing. Die mees beduidende bydrae van hierdie navorsing is stellig dat dit `n aanduiding bied van die optimale kompromie tussen `n verbeterde gesondheidsorguitkoms weens CD4-toetsing by die POC, en verhoogde gesondheidsorgbesteding aan CD4-toetsing by die POC, in die konteks van Suid-Afrikaanse openbare gesondheidsorg. Die navorsing dra ook by tot die ligingswetenskapliteratuur sowel as tot die metaheuristiekliteratuur.

Повний текст джерелаDigitization has driven the development of new powerful information systems, with the potential to improve the efficiency in the healthcare system. The Internet has become a primary source for seeking healthcare related information and therefore the healthcare sector are facing a challenge with developing digital systems with person-centered focus. This study has aimed to answer the question “How can eHealth solutions be designed to maintain a person centeredness in the healthcare”. The study has used a design-oriented approach that resulted in four design guidelines that address patients needs for an overview, control and adaption of the content in their treatment. The design guidelines describe how eHealth can be designed for person-centered care and the guidelines represent the results that was identified in the study. The four guidelines have been applied in a prototype, and evaluated by different test persons. The study showed that the guidelines will contribute to increased knowledge about how eHealth can be designed for person-centered care and have given an answer for the research question.
