P5 eHealth: An Agenda for the Health Technologies of the Future [EPUB ebook] 

This open access volume focuses on the development of a P5 e Health, or better, a methodological resource for developing the health technologies of the future, based on patients’ personal characteristics and needs as the fundamental guidelines for design. It provides practical guidelines and evidence based examples on how to design, implement, use and elevate new technologies for healthcare to support the management of incurable, chronic conditions. The volume further discusses the criticalities of e Health, why it is difficult to employ e Health from an organizational point of view or why patients do not always accept the technology, and how e Health interventions can be improved in the future. By dealing with the state-of-the-art in e Health technologies, this volume is of great interest to researchers in the field of physical and mental healthcare, psychologists, stakeholders and policymakers as well as technology developers working in the healthcare sector.
