title: Paradigm changes in health lead to paradigm changes in pathology.
abstract: For the sake of safety and quality of care as well as efficiency of care processes, health systems undergo a paradigm change towards personalized, ubiquitous, health services. This change includes preventive and predictive medicine based on advanced translational medicine. Here we introduce domain-specific, organizational, and technical paradigms, requirements and solutions for personalized, ubiquitous, care. Emphasizing the formal aspects of modeling and implementing Telehealth and personal health (pHealth) interoperability and the entailed multidisciplinary integration, and illustrate the drivers behind and benefits of personalized medicine with a specific focus on the changing trends and impact on pathology, especially emphasizing Telepathology.
