ABSTRACT
Evermore people are suffering from multi-morbidity, an accumulation of different afflictions that mutually affect each other. Simultaneously treatments which were previously conducted stationary are nowadays carried out in home settings. Therefore more and more ICT is employed to support such treatments. However, most of these systems are isolated and not accounting for technical interoperability or the determining factor that different treatments influence each other.
An approach for an integrated system to treat multi-morbid patients is presented within this paper. It aims to join various means of monitoring, health data storage and telemedicine into a holistic system to account for the needs of such patients. Already implemented subsystems are presented and considerable advantages of the system under construction are illustrated by a use-case for its application.
