Continuous care models for chronic diseases pose several technology-oriented challenges for home-based care, where assistance services rely on a close collaboration among different stakeholders, such as health operators, patient relatives, and social community members. This paper describes an ontology-based context model and a related context management system providing a configurable and extensible service-oriented framework to ease the development of applications for monitoring and handling patient chronic conditions. The system has been developed in a prototypal version, and integrated with a service platform for supporting operators of home-based care networks in cooperating and sharing patient-related information and coordinating mutual interventions for handling critical and alarm situations. Finally, we discuss experimentation results and possible further research directions.
慢性病的持续护理模式给居家护理带来了若干以技术为导向的挑战，在居家护理中，辅助服务依赖于不同利益相关者（如医疗服务人员、患者亲属和社会社区成员）之间的密切协作。本文描述了一种基于本体的上下文模型以及一个相关的上下文管理系统，该系统提供了一个可配置且可扩展的面向服务的框架，以简化用于监测和处理患者慢性病况的应用程序的开发。该系统已开发出原型版本，并与一个服务平台集成，以支持居家护理网络的运营人员进行合作、共享患者相关信息以及协调相互干预措施来处理危急和警报情况。最后，我们讨论了实验结果以及可能的进一步研究方向。
