Abstract
Hypertension affects eight out of ten adult population over 65 years. Healthcare processes require interdisciplinary cooperation and coordination between medical teams, clinical process and patients. The lack of patients’ empowerment and adherence to treatment makes it necessary to integrate patients, data collecting devices and the clinical process together. The use of Business Process Management (BPM) paradigm and their associated technologies as an integrating tool throughout the clinical process of coordinating the data collected hypertension patients through the devices, the clinical process and the needs of the medical equipment is proposed.
