Healthing: a Prototype WebBased Platform for the Monitoring of Chronic Patients and Predicting the Risk of Comorbidity The Healthing solution aims to satisfy various needs that are currently manifested in health processes as the prevention, treatment and monitoring of chronic diseases. These limits are related to the difficulties existing in the healthcare area in facing the serious problem of improper hospitalization and the absence of a care network for the treatment of chronic diseases. The management of a Pathway Diagnostic Therapeutic Care (PDTA) represents today the most complete and longterm monitoring of chronic diseases, planning controls and specialized exams to patients suffering of chronic illness. However, the evolution of the pathology follows dynamics that are not generic for all patients. In to accompany the individual patient in his process of care, is necessary to monitor daily both the PDTA and pharmacological intake plans and relation with electromedicals. Therefore, the present Healthing solution besides being a valid instrument for the chronic patient, easy to use and with simple modalities of use, represents a monitoring and videoconsultation tool for physicians, the healthcare and care worker who are in care more patients. The advantages of this solution, differently from other telemedicine platforms are: monitoring the progress of one or more PDTAs in which the individual patient is involved; checking the adherence of care plans (pharmacological and electromedical surveys) and customize them based on the clinical observations; analyzing over time the variability of the risk index of comorbidity, that is the copresence of several pathologies, which is a common tendency in the chronic course.

CASEPLUSSimPat: An Intersectoral WebBased Case Management System for Multimorbid Dementia Patients One main challenge of health care systems in future will be the care and treatment of dementia patients. To their advanced age, dementia patients do not only have limitations in cognition, perception, and articulation, but also suffer from several other diseases (multimorbidity). These patients have sophisticated needs for assistance, care, and treatment relying on different health care sectors. Wellknown communication and coordination deficits between sectors are intensified in the case of dementia, to the above described limitations. Coordination processes concerning the transition of patients from hospitals to inpatient or outpatient aftercare pose particularly difficult. To show a possible future direction for improving intersectoral care of dementia patients, we developed the webbased case management system CASEPLUSSimPat as part of the project SimPat xe2x80x9cSecuring Integrated Care for Multimorbid Patients with Dementia using an ITbased Service Conceptxe2x80x9d. CASEPLUSSimPat allows health care professionals, hospital employees and general practitioners, to jointly access patient data and exchange information about the treatment of patients. The case management system was implemented in a threetier architecture with a rolebased authorization concept. A portal for relatives complements the system. By providing precise information and elearning services, caring relatives are integrated into the care process. In a pilot test, CASEPLUSSimPat shows a good usability. Adapting aspects, such as keywords used to structure entries will make it easier to find required information, and thus will increase usability. Next steps comprise integration of further health care professionals and care facilities as well as reallife testing in terms of feasibility and effectiveness.
