Goals and Objectives in detail
- Provides automatic uninterrupted and ubiquitous monitoring of the
health status of patients away from the hospital extending from ischemic
and those with cardiac diseases to elderly requiring health-care
at home to patients with chronic conditions style="padding-bottom:10px;"
- Performs sophisticated accurate
and prompt medical diagnosis correlating a sufficient number of
physiological indicators
- Delivers the abovementioned functions implicitly, i.e.
without requiring user intervention – or as otherwise stated, without
perturbing the human-interaction loop
- Provides health-monitoring in
an enabling fashion, i.e. without kinetically or otherwise constraining
the serviced individuals disrupting their way of living
- Delivers medical
services cost-effectively, i.e. maximizing equity for both the
serviced and the service provider.
Given our goals, we have established the following objectives:
- Ensure that market analysis is
accurate and complete, i.e. unambiguously identifies
the roles and characteristics of all stakeholders involved
in service provisioning, relaying and consumption. This is
substantial to the sustainability of the service since it guarantees
that there will be no market failure due to missing stakeholders,
roles or sub-optimal allocation of resources.
- Engineer a business model that
maximizes value in stakeholder interactions – service providers,
intermediaries and consumers alike;
- Ensure the trans-European dimension
of the service, i.e. to ensure that our business model
performs equally well among different markets, legislations
and normative systems.
- Actuate a critical mass of
service beneficiaries for all service functions.
- Ensure user satisfaction by testing service
quality. Service quality is a composite factor spanning
the following dimensions:
- ubiquity – that the service can be offered
anytime, anywhere to eligible individuals;
- diagnosis quality – that diagnosis is accurate,
prompt and sophisticated given the data measurements;
- non-invasiveness and ease of use – that
in normal operating conditions the movement of the monitored
subject is not constrained;
- Control service deployment by specifying
personnel, infrastructure and cost requirements for the
deployment.
