Regions' e-Health - AER e-He@lth network
E-health refers to the use of modern information and communication technologies to meet the needs of citizens, patients, healthcare professionals, healthcare providers, as well as policy makers.
At EU level, the introduction of eHealth services is facilitating access to healthcare, whatever the geographical location, thanks to innovative telemedicine and personal health systems. eHealth is also breaking down barriers, enabling health service providers (public authorities, hospitals) from different regions to work more closely together.
Why e-He@lth?
- Higher quality of medical services
- Increased transparency in health care
- Save time and money
- More reliable diagnosis and treatment
- Especially adapted to the need of an ageing society
Who do we want to work with?
- Regional authorities : politicians and officers
- Medical personnel
- IT experts within regions and medical institutions
- IT companies
- Universities with established expertise in IT development
