Abstract
This paper presents a key part of the design process of an e-health application for elderly patients in a home setting. It encompasses the key scenarios, use cases and the architecture consisting of system components, applications, and interfaces for supporting homecare of users with chronic health conditions. Care at home intends to provide health care at the same level and quality at the patient's home complementary to the work done in other health sectors. This paper presents a global overview of the design methodology in addition to depicting the different layers of the system and their components. This paper builds upon known requirements for homecare and serves as basis for the implementation of instances of such system.
