Abstract
The KNOWLEDGE-CARE vision is to enable new e-health services that are personalized, preventive, predictive, pre-emptive, participatory, pervasive and precise. This vision aims to make a move from reactive medicine to predictive medicine, developing dynamic and responsive models through knowledge extraction and using such models for personalized clinical healthcare. The proposed healthcare ecosystem can learn over time and can adapt to the variation seen in the actual real-world population.
