Just an idea that I won’t have time to pursue myself:
Could a complete open source tele-health solution for scalable handling of remote (home based) Covid patients be built with openEHR as core using “Task Planning” etc. A flexible setup where some patients can do all follow-up/reporting by themselves (forms+bots), some can chat (with human care staff + bots) and some can use videoconferencing where needed.
If somebody would combine open source:
- Video conferencing: https://meet.jit.si/
(Here is a test meeting I started but have to leave now…) - Textual conversation/chat threads (via some chat/conversation/bot framework, see examples at https://geekflare.com/chatbot-development-frameworks/) with “bot”-plugin capabilities (e.g. a bot presenting an openEHR based form or running one end of a GDL/TP-based flow)
- An openEHR framework for Electronic Health Record storage/retrieval, like https://ehrbase.org/,
- Integrations w/ Google Fit like https://github.com/regionostergotland/wwv (register temperature etc using Android’s or iOS built in health apps)
There is a hackathon in Sweden now at https://www.hackthecrisis.se/ that I won’t be able to participate or mentor in. (I have hinted to some students though.) Feel free to explore and use the ideas in any form anywhere…
