Internet as eHealth Tool: Tele-Homecare is an active research field for providing preeminent acute
medical homecare services to the patients. State-of-the-art telematic
homecare platforms are usually afflicted with the problems of interoperability
with their client Health Information Systems (HISs) regarding exchanging
patient's medical information in order to provide factual Telemonitoring,
Telediagnosis, and Teletreatment. In our research work, we investigated the
application of Web Services, a new breed of distributed computing, which is
becoming a de-facto standard for the automatic on-the-fly orchestration of
readymade on-demand services in the field of eHealth to achieve
interoperability among disparate HISs.
