E-Health Application Domains

A wide-adopted segmentation of the e-Health solutions and health devices market is done in three large domains: health and wellness (including fitness, sport activities, among other topics), living independently longer (including Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), Active Healthy Ageing (AHA) and home monitoring of elderly people, among other topics), and chronic conditions management (including diabetes, heart failure, patients who have undergone surgery, urgencies and emergencies, etc.) (Haux, R., 2010; Hovenga, E. J. S., 2010).
