Abstract
Exploiting the full potential of telemedical systems means using platform based solutions data are recovered from biomedical sensors hospital information systems care givers as well as patients themselves and are processed and redistributed in an either centralized or more probably decentralized way The integration of all these different devices and interfaces as well as the automated analysis and representation of all the pieces of information are current key challenges in telemedicine Mobile phone technology has just begun to offer great opportunities of using this diverse information for guiding warning and educating patients thus increasing their autonomy and adherence to their prescriptions However most of these existing mobile solutions are not based on platform systems and therefore represent limited isolated applications This article depicts how telemedical systems based on integrated health data platforms can maximize prescription adherence in chronic patients through mobile feedback The application described here has been developed in an EU funded RAndD project called METABO dedicated to patients with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
