 |
Abstract
The new challenges of healthcare services regarding the requirements for a cross-border network of information and collaboration of care providers, politicians and researchers are stressing to a new foundation for health services.
A critical review of the available models and standards, some of them originally developed to the industry and others specific to health care services should be the foundations for the new paradigm called Health 4.0.
In addition, the medicinal products data traceability and the data architecture proposed by International Organization of Standardization will digitalize the data flow of the medicines supply chain. This upcoming will enhance the quality, accessibility and ubiquity of the Health 4.0 as a whole.Some technology paradigms are changing, the monolithic applications are being replaced by microservices. Will the microservices be the future landscape of Health 4.0?
If so, how will the return of investments and risk be evaluated? Some models to measure the systems reliability are already on the field. However, the microservices technologies have some new challenges due to their cross dependencies and potential cycled operations.
