Abstract:
For meeting the financial, quality and safety challenges as well as expectations of the patients,
health and social care systems around the globe currently undergo a transformation
towards personalized, preventive, predictive, participative precision medicine (5PM), supported
by technology. It considers individual health status, conditions, genetic and genomic
dispositions in personal social, occupational, environmental and behavioral context, understanding
the pathology of diseases and turning health and social care from reactive to
proactive. The aforementioned transformation is strongly supported by technologies such
as micro- and nanotechnologies, advanced computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous
systems and robotics, knowledge representation and management, etc. Beside their opportunities,
those advanced technologies also bear risks to be managed, requiring the detailed
consideration from a humanistic, moral and ethical perspective. For enabling communication
and cooperation between all actors from different disciplines involved, using different
methodologies, perspectives, intentions, languages, we shall understand and formally and
consistently represent the multidisciplinary, highly complex and dynamic 5PM ecosystem.
The outcome is a system-theoretical, architecture-centric, ontology-based, policy-driven approach
for designing and managing intelligent and ethical 5PM ecosystems. The necessary
model and framework has been developed by the author and meanwhile standardized as
ISO 23903 Interoperability and Integration Reference Architecture. The formal representation
of any ecosystem and its development process including examples of practical deployment of
the approach are presented in detail. This includes correct systems and standards integration
and interoperability solutions.
