Our societies are changing worldwide. Life expectancy has increased in many societies and this increase is often related to an increase in the relative amount of elderly persons. Health-enabling technologies are information and communication technologies for creating sustainable conditions for self-sufficient and self-determined lifestyles. Sensor-enhanced health information systems play a major role in this context. The question is discussed, whether health-enabling technologies for pervasive health care can be regarded as a pivotal field for future medical informatics research and education.
全球范围内，我们的社会正在发生变化。在许多社会中，预期寿命有所增加，这种增长往往与老年人相对数量的增加有关。健康促进技术是用于为自给自足和自主生活方式创造可持续条件的信息和通信技术。在这种背景下，传感器增强型健康信息系统发挥着重要作用。本文讨论了一个问题，即用于普及医疗保健的健康促进技术是否可被视为未来医学信息学研究和教育的关键领域。
