Purpose and goal
FRONT-VL´s goal was to develop an open, flexible and standardized platform for the development of eHealth services. The platform will provide opportunities for the integration of IoT equipment, databases, and user interfaces, in mode-learning form. The open structure enables collaboration between different actors, who can collaborate on the design of patient-centred solutions, adaptable to specific needs and situations. Within the platform, a number of "proof of concepts" were developed that were successfully tested at various activities within healthcare and health care.
Expected results and effects
The result of FRONT-VL is a "Reference Architecture" for the integration of system components and collaboration between companies around service development in the eHealth sector. The architecture is based on an integration between six layers: Clients and Processes, Applications, Data Abstraction / API, Data Management Platform, IoT Data Integration, Devices and Sensors. The expected effects of the application of architecture is a flexible and cost-effective development of modular systems, which provides a high level of user satisfaction for patient-centred services.
Planned approach and implementation
The FRONT-VL project focused on a "Reference Service Architecture" for an open platform for eHealth services. This architecture intends to function as an integration model to enable collaboration between many companies to create patient-centred services in the home environment. The development of the architecture took place in close cooperation between companies and end-user organizations. The architecture was developed in an iterative agile process, between user-driven needs analysis (co-design), development of test systems (proof-of-concept) and architectural work.
