Objective For realizing pervasive and ubiquitous health social care services in a safe high quality as well efficient effective way, systems have to meet new organizational, methodological, technological paradigms. The resulting ecosystems are highly complex, distributed, dynamic, following inter-organizational even international approaches. Even though based on international, but domain-specific models standards, achieving interoperability between such integrating multiple domains managed...

Digital health information systems (DHIS) are increasingly members of ecosystems, collecting, using and sharing a huge amount personal (PHI), frequently without control authorization through the data subject. From subject’s perspective, there is no guarantee therefore trust that PHI processed ethically in Health Ecosystems. This results new ethical, privacy challenges to be solved. The authors’ objective find combination ethical principles, models, together enabling design, implementation...
