Abstract
The increase in life expectancy and the related rising of chronic diseases has resulted in the saturation of European healthcare systems. eHealth and mHealth technologies place at the disposal of the healthcare community various potent tools to improve patient care. Specifically, telemedicine tools facilitate remote patient monitoring by healthcare providers reducing face-to-face appointments. These tools can help in the management of chronic conditions, lowering pressure on clinics, reducing waiting time for patients and speeding up treatment delivery processes. In this regard, this research work proposes a mHealth platform based on WebRTC to communicate via videoconference and messaging, patients with their healthcare providers. The platform will be further adapted and validated in the context of the EmERGE project, a five-year Horizon 2020 funded project that proposes a new clinical pathway to facilitate patient empowerment and selfmanagement of HIV while reducing face-to-face consultations for people living with stable HIV.
