Description:
Taxonomy of Pervasive Healthcare Systems (PHS) that extends the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
Overview:
The taxonomy extends the International Classification of Functioning, Disabilityand Health, which provides standard language and a frameworkfor the description of health and health-related domains.
Objectives:
The taxonomy is structured as a hierarchy of the properties ofpervasive healthcare systems and can be used as a framework forsystem classification. It identifies a set of fundamental propertiesthat enable a system to be described according to its user?scharacteristics, its purpose and environment of use, as well asthe technologies employed.
Initiatives:
paper presented a novel taxonomy of pervasive health-care systems. The taxonomy identifies a set of fundamentalproperties that enable a system to be described according touser characteristics, its purpose and environment of use, aswell as the technologies used. These properties are arranged ina hierarchical manner starting from the root of the taxonomy,which defines the relationships between all seven main featurecategories. In addition, our taxonomy is based on the ICF,which provides standard language and a framework for thedescription of health and disability.
