Sažetak
Patients do not any longer receive care only in medical facilities as health care services have extended first to their homes, afterwards to other places they reach, and finally there is a tendency to offer these services universally. The number of users and potential users has increased since, in addition to the need for monitoring either vital functions of patients or their general health status, the wish for continuous information on health status and potential health risks has risen within the healthy population. Health care technology research and development have followed these needs but there is still a necessity for further steps in order to cover all possible applications and services, from disease and health management, disease prevention and, where possible, also disease prediction. All these efforts are intended for dynamic citizens, moving across the borders, at any time and any place.
