In recent years, personalized connected care has become increasingly important due to the generally aging population and the rising cost pressures in the healthcare sector. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, there are no off-the-shelf solutions available to provide open and adaptable information and communication technology (ICT) for connected care; the reasons for this may differ between use cases. Based on our case studies at hospitals in different European countries, we identified three main challenges of such for ICT solution: 1) the high diversity between hospital sites and treatments, 2) the embedding of information from existing information systems, and 3) the coordination and communication of the many different stakeholders. Our approach is to use a full stack modelbased solution that supports the integration, communication, and coordination of the pending work. Currently, our solution is being used for clinical trials.

Integrated care approaches are becoming increasingly relevant with the current aging population. In the context of an integrated healthcare project, we developed a smart adaptive case management system for professionals that is currently being used for clinical trials. In this paper, we present the modeling requirements for integrated healthcare applications and use them to categorize and compare existing implementation approaches used in practice. [link]
