N2 - Linking electronic media and systems with medical sensors opens the path for individualized and personalized telematic medicine. Like in the environment of other specialist systems, individual medical data can be collected with data of superordinate data bases to provide, when needed, personalized information. This is particularly helpful in an aging, mobile society which in future will face decreasing doctor density and which already is dependent on the presence of such systems especially in the rural areas. People's self-determination regarding information, largely realized in other realms of their lives is now extended to the area of medical information and permits, in addition to a healthier lifestyle, greater mobility in old age. Various systems and concepts for diagnostic and therapeutic medical assistance in the areas of asthma, chronic obstructive lung disorders (COPD), cardiovascular disorders and bruxism are described as examples.
