On the Requirements for Cooperative Assistance in the Medical Domain

Abstract. In this paper we introduce an extension of the PARADIGMA (PARticipative Approach to DIsease Global Management) approach to take into account the home healthcare assistance service. PARADIGMA defines and disseminates a common methodology and optimized protocols (Clinical Pathways) to support service functions directed to patients and individuals on matters like prevention, post-hospitalization support and awareness. Specifically, PARADIGMA will provide a platform of information services - user oriented and optimized against social, cultural and technological constraints - supporting the Health Care Global System in a continuous improvement process.
