U*Care: From Business Modelling to Enterprise Architecture

Lucas O. Meertens

Description of research

The U*Care project is designing a platform for wellness and healthcare services to assist people of 50 years and older in an "integrated living" environment. My focus is on the business aspects of the project: stakeholder analysis, business model, and overall architecture. Starting from this context, we develop quantitative and qualitative business models for exploitation of the U*Care platform. We relate business models to enterprise architecture, using a new methodology to arrive at an architecture for the U*Care platform in a model-driven approach.
