Bridging the end user and service provider gap in the eHealth domain: A meta model driven approach

Collaboration in the eHealth domain impose specific challenges to the alignment of tools and methods in order to reach the mutual goals such as successful treatment or patient inclusion. One of the key obstacles that is addressed in this paper refers to the bridging the gap between the stakeholders from a skill and knowledge point of view. by enabling abstraction through application of graphical modelling languages. In the presented work we propose the application of graphical modelling languages by applying a meta model based approach to first provide graphical models each stakeholder is familiar with and then integrate corresponding models via so-called semantic transit models. The proposed solution and subset of the implemented functionalities are demonstrated using a realization scenario. The scenario illustrates a direct link from a domain view depicting the patient scenario to a technical view specifying software agents.
