The EC published a short leaflet on 8 June entitled ‘eHealth: connecting health systems in Europe’
The leaflet provides insight in the Commission’s priorities of the very broad eHealth topic and includes a short and general overview on which are the EU challenges when it comes to health and which are the tools and the strategy put in place by the EC, as well as expected benefits regarding the eHealth.
eHealth is an extensive topic essentially including all health-related issues. The leaflet is a condensed view of the European Commission on their focus areas, such as the growing number of new medical technologies and services which offer opportunities to tackle the challenges of an ageing society and increased prevalence of chronic diseases.
