Vision: Developing collaborative model-driven apps for personalised care plans

Abstract

We present a proposal for designing collaborative, human-centred care plans to improve the quality of life for people living with disabilities and/or chronic diseases. This position paper proposes the design of a novel set of domain-specific visual languages and collaborative tools to allow end-users to easily specify their requirements and communicate with domain experts and clinicians to design and develop personalised care plan-supporting mobile apps. The visual languages will have the capacity for "Modeling the human aspects of stakeholders and end-users of the software, such as age, gender, personality, emotions, disability and preferences". Expected outcomes include an eHealth solution providing an improved capability for individuals to design and manage their own care plans. Benefits include enabling marginalised and vulnerable people to more easily communicate with practitioners, receive community support and be actively involved in their care planning.
