title: Intelligent task management platform for health care workers.
abstract: The medical staff in a hospital could benefit from a specialized task management system, considering their high workload covering different patients. This article presents an intelligent task management platform that automatically prioritizes and (re-)assigns tasks to the appropriate caregivers based on the current health care context captured in a continuous care ontology. Moreover, this platform provides the caregivers with a smartphone allowing them to easily view and process their assigned tasks.
