Smart Devices, IoT and Co. are changing healthcare. The possibilities for pervasive sensing and analysis are fast increasing and new therapy concepts as well as business models are arising, related to the term “Digital Health”. The paper will give a brief overview on the history and ask, whether Digital Health is more than Telemedicine 4.0. Furthermore, we will ask for the prospective currency to participate in new preventive offer. Data is the new oil – Digital Biomarkers enable new value chains on health data and allow for the personalization of healthcare. We will present ongoing work of Fraunhofer ISST on a Digital Biomarker called beHealthy Health Score.

Software processes are usually described by guidelines and advices. These guidelines are claimed to be valid for many projects. This understanding leads to software processes which deviate from initial plans and which frequently yield insufficient results. System-atic management of software processes can help to overcome these shortcomings. In this paper, we introduce an incremental approach to software process management. This approach covers the complete life-cycle of software process models, i.e., it deals with software process modeling, software process model analysis, and software process model enaction. It is based on a net-based software process modeling language called FUNSOFT nets. FUNSOFT nets are high-level Petri nets adapted to the application domain of software process management. We model software processes by means of different views onto a software process model. Our approach is implemented in a software process management environment called MELMAC.

In this paper, we introduce the information logistics concept and demonstrate its relevance for the field of wearable computing. Information logistics is an innovative technology based on the idea that the right information gets to the recipient, e.g. journalist at the right time. The objective is a need- and user-orie nted information supply according to just-in-time principles. The Smart-Wear project is a first step towards a personalized, wearable information broker based on the information logistics concept. In this paper, we want to illustrate the complexity of such a project aiming to deliver "information skin-deep". We therefore present the underlying idea as well as the system architecture. We furthermore summarize the experiences and results of the customer study as user acceptance proves to be one of the major tasks of wearable computing due the impact such technologies have on the users
