Item Modelling the business structure of a digital health ecosystem(ACM, 2019-10-16) Marcos-Pablos, S.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The current trend in digital solutions for the health sector is to move from fragmented services to progressively more integrated services provided by multiple stakeholders through technological ecosystem platforms. However, the business model is scarcely taken into account at the early stages of development of this type of ecosystems specially in the health sector. In the present paper a general approach towards the exploitation of a technological ecosystem focused on caregivers is presented. It follows the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) in order to develop different ecosystem’s exploitation alternatives, taking into account the ecosystem stakeholders and their main value propositions. This serves as a starting data model in the software development process from which different business exploitation alternatives can be elaboratedItem A model to define an eHealth technological ecosystem for caregivers(Springer Nature, 2019-04-30) García-Holgado, A.; Marcos-Pablos, S.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The ageing of world population has a direct impact on the health and care systems, as it means an increase in the number of people needing care which leads to higher care costs and the need for more resources. In this context, informal caregivers play an important role as they enable dependent persons to stay at home and thus reduce care costs. However, long-term continuous care provision has also an impact in the physical and mental health of the caregivers. Moreover, geographical barriers make it difficult for caregivers to accessing psychoeducation as a way to alleviate their problems. To support caregivers in their needs and provide specialized training, technology plays a fundamental role. The present work provides the theoretical basis for the development of a technological ecosystem focused on learning and knowledge management processes to develop and enhance the caregiving competences of formal and informal caregivers, both at home and in care en-vironments. In particular, a platform-specific model to support the defini-tion of the ecosystem based on Open Source software components is pre-sented, along with a Business Model Canvas to define the business struc-ture as part of the human elements of the technological ecosystemItem Technological ecosystems in the health sector: a mapping study of European research projects(Springer Nature, 2019-03-14) García-Holgado, A.; Marcos-Pablos, S.; Therón-Sánchez, R.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The European Union has a substantial investment in research and development and demand side-measures in the health sector in order to promote new initiatives, prevent disease and foster healthy lifestyles. In particular, the European Commission and other European entities have funded research projects focused on the use of technology in the health sector. In this context, health research initiatives have evolved from user-centred monolithic solutions into collaborative partnerships of different stakeholders that gather around different technological platforms. In order to identify the lacks and opportunities in this area, a systematic mapping study was conducted with the aim of identifying and analysing the recent research projects developed in Europe related to technological ecosystems in the health sector. The study covered closed European research projects from 2003 to 2018. This paper aims to extend that systematic mapping study through ongoing research projects. The analysis of these research projects provides an overview of the current trends and identify the lacks and opportunities to define new advances in this research area. Moreover, the comparison between the first mapping study focused on closed projects, and the current study, allows getting an overview of the evolution of technological ecosystems in the health sectorItem Technological ecosystems in the health sector: A mapping study of European research projects(2019-03-22) García-Holgado, A.; Marcos-Pablos, S.; Therón, R.; García-Peñalvo, F.

J.Over the past decade, the health domain has grown at a fast pace. The stakeholders are not only limited to patients, but also include formal and informal careers, doctors, research institutions and technological solution providers. As such, different technological ecosystems of interconnected health communities have arisen to adopt the best practices to improve the wellbeing and health of patients. In order to identify the lacks and opportunities in this area, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the ecosystems in the health domain, presenting a systematic mapping study of research projects developed in Europe and related to the field. The systematic mapping review was conducted on the AAL Programme, CORDIS and KEEP databases. The paper describes the methodology employed for conducting such a review, and provides an analysis of results that give an overview of the evolution of related European projects until today along with the conclusions obtained from the study
