We have designed an ontological environment that makes provisions for choosing adequate devices for remote monitoring of patients who are suffering from poststroke health complications. We argue that nonfunctional requirements in e-health systems, designed for remote patient monitoring, can be managed through semantics stored in ontological models and reasoning performed on them. Our contribution is twofold: (1) we address the pervasiveness of e-health systems by choosing devices embedded in them, and through patients' expectations in terms of having access to pervasive health services personalized to their needs; and (2) we enrich the specification of nonfunctional requirements for remote patient monitoring by highlighting their role in the development of e-healthcare systems.
我们设计了一个本体论环境，为选择适当的设备来远程监测患有中风后健康并发症的患者提供了条件。我们认为，为远程患者监测设计的电子健康系统中的非功能需求，可以通过存储在本体模型中的语义和对其进行推理来管理。我们的贡献有两个方面：（1）通过选择嵌入其中的设备以及通过患者对访问个性化服务的期望，我们解决了电子健康系统的普遍性问题；（2）通过突出其在电子医疗保健系统开发中的作用，我们丰富了远程患者监测的非功能需求规范。
