ObjectivesChildcare project reflects the CHILDCARE Consortium's extensive experience in advanced telecommunication and information services as well as its commitment to invest in future promising practices. Considering the current status of the relevant industry, the existing and potential competitor cases and the best practice business examples in the field, CHILDCARE proposes an advanced platform that builds on "state of the art", with innovative features concerning the conveyed services, the technological infrastructure and the business plan. #1 Bringing together Collaborative environments and Telemedicine The CHILDCARE Consortium contributes to the health sector by building a novel integration of focused Collaborative services and Telemedicine sessions addressed to children?s ongoing healthcare at home. The combination is enriched with intelligence powered up by knowledge management: customised retrieval of medical information and multiple access capabilities based on user profiling, e-prescription services and directory services. This way, a virtual workspace benefits from on-line access to multimedia sources such as medical image and audio. At the same time, Telemedicine is complemented by the potential of expanding among the collaborating peers. Finally, both profit from the intelligent additives. The outcome of the combination is a complete end-to-end digital solution. #2 Innovative Technological Platform CHILDCARE provides a technologically advanced platform for the provision of continuous healthcare services to the children that are not confined to hospital. It builds on state-of-the-art technologies -most of them mature enough- keeping in mind that technology is a means to boost the idea. CHILDCARE does not propose new technologies. On the contrary, we believe that the most far-reaching changes in the years to come are not likely to be the result of dramatic new novelty. Rather, they will almost certainly result from the focusing, refining and merging of existing technologies and their extension to more areas of our lives. #3 Delivering Innovative Services The Consortium acknowledges the increasingly complex relationship between human needs and technology and devotes part of its efforts in finding the point of balance. CHILDCARE services come to fill-in the existing gap in the provision of an advanced collaborative environment for the continuous monitoring of children's healthcare.
