Abstract
In this paper we discuss a technical design and an
ongoing trial that is being conducted in the UK, called Technology
Integrated Health Management (TIHM). TIHM uses Internet of
Things (IoT) enabled solutions provided by various companies
in a collaborative project. The IoT devices and solutions are
integrated in a common platform that supports interoperable
and open standards. A set of machine learning and data analytics
algorithms generate notifications regarding the well-being of the
patients. The information is monitored around the clock by a
group of healthcare practitioners who take appropriate decisions
according to the collected data and generated notifications. In
this paper we discuss the design principles and the lessons that
we have learned by co-designing this system with patients, their
carers, clinicians, and also our industry partners. We discuss
the technical design of TIHM and explain why user-centred and
human-experience should be an integral part of the technological
design
