Context-aware mobile patient monitoring provides new opportunities to deliver medical care. Despite an exploding number of mobile patient monitoring applications, we lack aholistic and comprehensive taxonomy of context dimensions in mobile patient monitoring and thus fail to fully understand context-aware behavior. In a design science approach we build conceptual models for both context and context-awareness in
mobile patient monitoring. We instantiate and evaluate the suggested artifacts in a field study. Our primary contributions are conceptual models for context dimensions in mobile patient monitoring and insights into the context-aware behavior of theseapplications. This study reveals the importance of various stakeholders (e.g., care provider and relatives) and disease-specific insights from medical research contributing to the value creation in context-aware mobile patient monitoring. We further illustrate that current solutions offer only restricted set of context-aware features, not taking full advantage of sensor-enabled mobile devices to collect continuous contextual health information.
