Abstract Healthcare is the biggest and fastest growing industry in the world and is
one of the domains that are expected to grow signifi cantly over decades to come.
Underlying cause for this are the current demographic developments which are
showing similar patterns almost worldwide with a strong growth of the population
share of individuals over 65 years of age.
1.1 The Book
H ealthcare is the biggest and fastest growing industry in the world and is one of the
domains that are expected to grow signifi cantly over decades to come. Underlying
cause for this are the current demographic developments which are showing similar
patterns almost worldwide with a strong growth of the population share of individuals
over 65 years of age.
In the near future we will witness the emergence not only of groundbreaking new
technologies in health and care but the emergence of completely new care systems
with the need for large-scale integration of different types of technologies such as
4G and 5G, m-health applications, e-health clouds, and others. In this context
requirements engineering will evolve from an expert domain initially left to a
relatively small number of insiders to a critical skill set which in certain settings
might well be applied by trained non-experts or informed users.
A lthough there can be no doubt that regional healthcare providers instantiating
and implementing a new technology will in most cases seek expert advise to keep
costs under control, small surgeries or pharmacies might rely on an informed
decision by their owners who would probably be reluctant to invest a fi ve-digit sum
in a technology consultant. After all, following the 20–80 % rule (80 % effect out of
20 % effort) might be the only realistic and feasible approach for micro-, small-, and
