“…The components added to the ESB are a Selection component in order to provide failover and dynamic service selection [7], a Security component to provide a secure and safe architecture [8], an Eventing component in order to make the data delivery accurate and reliable [9], and finally a Composer component in order to create service orchestrations at runtime [10]. By enabling these components in the broker platform, users are relieved from service localization, user interactions are minimized and authentication is simplified by using single-sign-on.…”

SummaryBecause of growing financial pressures in healthcare and a shift in pathologies, patients are discharged earlier and care is organized at home, requiring e-homecare services to support care and patient integration in society. As these services are built by different vendors, integration is complex. Therefore a broker platform has been designed using the web service technology. The broker allows efficient data communication and guarantees quality requirements such as security, availability and cost-efficiency by dynamically selecting and composing services, minimizing user interactions and simplifying authentication through single-signon so that users do not need to authenticate to each service separately. A platform prototype and several e-homecare services (e-alarm, tele-monitoring, audiodiary and video-chat) have been implemented and were evaluated by diabetes and multiple sclerosis patients. When a user starts the application, he is requested to authenticate himself using his electronic identity card. Once authenticated, a set of buttons is added to the client, giving access to the e-homecare services. The startup time and overhead imposed by the platform was experienced by the patients to be small enough. Combined with having all e-homecare services integrated in a single client application, requiring only one login, resulted in a high quality of experience by the patients.
