“…A development in the software will bring the nursing information to the location where the nurses actually are (Bakker 2002). The authors Haluza and Haluza and Jungwirth (2015) affirm that the information and communication technologies offer a huge opportunity to face the challenges of aging societies. The information and communication technologies may be used for everyday assistance that offers independence and self-care to the patients with different kinds of disabilities.…”

Abstract:The study presents a general overview of the healthcare facility system of the Slovak Republic, especially in a field of the innovation process of the management information system, with a purpose of analysing the consistency and a unity of the system. The data applied in this analysis is collected as a part of the Gesiti research project. This project is developed for mapping out the management of an information system and information technology in healthcare facilities around the whole world. The main goal of the project is to identify the needs and the demands of the healthcare facilities and to create an integrated research report with a focus on a report research roadmap. The information and communication technologies that are applied are partially unsuitable in the healthcare facilities in the Slovak Republic. Information systems are used without exact plans of their future development. This makes it almost impossible to develop them according to the modern needs and to join them with the other systems that are currently used. The big issues also lie in financing these systems and the personnel responsible for them. The outcome of the analysis should create a direction for financial decision making support and for better management of the healthcare facilities, both in the public and the private sector.

Proponents of personalised medicine believe that the involvement of the patients, including in “risk-sharing agreements,” will result in cost savings, the use of the genetic makeup of an individual patient as the starting point will save resources and, indirectly, there will be great potential for startups and new business in many areas. But how can Europe ensure that the “person” is central stage and allow us to focus on the development of personalised medicine for his or her ultimate benefit? The EU has a clear role to play, argues the author. One way for this to happen is for the EU to focus investment in guidelines for governance. This will go a long way to ensuring that the citizen is the principal factor when it comes to utilising the new wealth of innovation in health. The citizen must always come first when innovation is harnessed.

“…Nevertheless, progress in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has allowed the development of a wide array of platforms and technological applications oriented towards assisting and supporting the healthcare field (Yanga et al, 2015;Lee Ventola, 2014). These technological advances enable the systematization, dissemination and socialization of information with the aim of providing timely and effective attention, monitoring and tracking, as they can eliminate accessibility barriers and high costs, especially in vulnerable groups (Lee Ventola, 2014;Haluzaa and Jungwirtha, 2015).…”

“…The authors Haluzaa and Jungwirtha (Haluzaa and Jungwirtha, 2015) posit that the support and assistance provided by ICTs are established by means of web platforms and social networks sharing common objectives. Similarly, social networks established by these mediums work as integration tools where varied sectors are involved (academic, scientific, technological and cultural), in order to support processes, share experiences and strengthen knowledge collectively or individually.…”

The increasing human longevity around the world calls for new attention models in which the primary caregiver plays a crucial role as a source of care supply. However, primary caregivers' lack of training, along with high levels of stress, depression and anxiety, can have a negative impact on both the caregiver's health and the development of caregiving duties. Hence, the objective of the present article is to introduce the eCuidador platform, an innovative tool that seeks to provide assistance and support to primary caregivers by means of a variety of services available in the cloud with the aim of improving caregivers' health and quality of life. Likewise, we present the results obtained from the pilot test validation, in which the evaluation of the following parameters was carried out: Usability (12), Functionality (10), Design (11), Usefulness (12) and Satisfaction (12). The participants of this pilot test were 12 primary caregivers (91.66% women).
