CommonWell - The architecture

As leaders of CommonWell technical work, Tunstall is building on its experience with the Continua Health Alliance to pilot new and innovative approaches to the management of a wide range of long term conditions, employing open system architectures.

Tunstall's experience in the field of elderly care provides CommonWell with valuable understanding of market demands and the capability to adapt solutions to a wide range of different cases.

The Commonwell technical partners have developed an architecture model for convergence between social and health services, supporting older people and those with long term conditions to live independently and lead fulfilling lives.

In line with the key CommonWell objective of providing evidence on the benefits of mainstreaming telehealthcare solutions throughout Europe, innovative and flexible solutions are developed for each site, responding to market and service organization demands.

The main technology themes are:

  • Telehealth and Telecare
  • Telecare detectors
  • Service-Oriented Architecture
  • Open system interfaces (Continua compliant)
  • PSTN and internet delivery
  • Structured (XML) & unstructured dialogue
  • Integration of mature solutions
  • Migration to emerging technologies.
