Description
Summary:Nowadays chronic diseases pose new challenges in the healthcare domain. Especially, in case of co-morbidities and multi-morbidities where the self-management affects negatively patient's ailment, a dynamic, collaborative and self-organized approach is more suitable. In this paper we demonstrate P2Care, a dynamic and self-organized healthcare network for ubiquitous healthcare environment. P2Care exploits the functionalities of structured P2P networks for delivering personalized services in an efficient, scalable and network-friendly manner. Motivated by real-world social groups, P2Care organizes healthcare professionals, providers and patients in groups according to common characteristics and interests.
