scope:

The present document presents a number of typical use cases in the eHealth domain and their analysis to identify gaps in standardization. The analysis covers aspects of link connectivity, network interconnectivity, semantic and syntactic interoperability, security (risks and provisions) and the existence of standards to meet each aspect. Furthermore the analysis identifies actors and their roles, for each of primary, secondary and tertiary involvement in the use case.

The use case examples have been drawn or informed by publications from industry, from completed FP7 and H2020 projects, from ETSI Technical Bodies, and from current eHealth and Health industry practices.

The update in V1.2.1 of the present document added therapeutic use cases in addition to the baseline diagnostic use cases of the previous edition (V1.1.1), and the update in the present version (V1.3.1) adds consideration of data for machine based processing and non-clinical medical use cases.
