• Pervasive healthcare is gaining attention outside the research community. But real-life deployment of many solutions faces the realities that come with everyday life, namely the existence of boundaries between applications, networks and devices. These often impair the end user experience through failing along these boundaries or enforcing particular end user experiences at them, e.g., by providing single-device or single-network solutions. We intend to address these shortcomings with an approach that places information at the centre of the platform design, including the low-level communication framework. We believe that this approach alone can address the various governance and provenance conflicts that emerge in real-life deployments. This paper describes early work by outlining our design vision as well as early findings on its realization.
