**5. Conclusions**

This chapter presented the xCARE development platform suitably defined for smart and pervasive healthcare systems. The platform is currently adopted in several solutions adopted at the European level. To give a view of the potentiality of xCARE, three relevant projects in which the platform has been used have been presented.

As for the future work, we plan to improve the platform with more microservices, to enhance the intelligent support with further models based on artificial intelligence and to apply xCARE approach and technology to further healthcare domains and use cases.
