Mobile ICT solution for house calls health care support

Home health care covers a wide range of activities for example, house calls, emergency medical assistance and medical home care. Although in Slovenia the number of house calls compared with visits in a clinic is constantly declining, we find that IT can best help doctors performing fieldwork, dealing with serious chronic illnesses, or helping the elderly, disabled or dying patients because they are usually almost completely cut off from the IT support otherwise available at their workplace, despite the fact that they carry a smart mobile device, while existing Slovenian IT solutions do not work on smart mobile devices. The research investigates IT solution for support of home health care, working on mobile devices, which allows doctors to access patient medical data, while solving the problems of security of sensitive medical information.
