Even though regulation has been attracting the attention of policy makers as e-health matures, regulatory regimes around the globe are ill-equipped and moving slowly for dealing with these technologies (Hsu et al. 2005; Ooijevaar 2010). In fact, there are growing concerns in extant literature that regulatory agencies have failed to keep abreast with developments in the pervasive e-health realm (Fried et al. 2000; Goldsmith 2000).

Wickramasinghe Process-Oriented Knowledge Generation A process-centric approach to knowledge creation not only combines the essentials of both the people-centric and technology-centric perspectives but also emphasizes the dynamic and ongoing nature of the process of knowledge creation itself and supports simultaneously the Lokean/Leibnizian and Hegelian/Kantian systems of inquiry. Process-centered knowledge generation is grounded in the pioneering work of Boyd and his OODA Loop, a conceptual framework that maps out the critical process required to support rapid decision making and extraction of critical and germane knowledge (Wickramasinghe and von Lubitz 2007; von Lubitz and Wickramasinghe 2006).
