Connected health in Europe : where are we today?

Abstract

The survey used in the compilation of the report aimed to develop an understanding of Europe’s readiness to adopt Connected Health/eHealth solutions at both a regional and a European level. Most of the questions were answered at a national level, but some countries reported apparent regional differences. Two MC members from each representative country responded in tandem to a majority of the questions based upon their own knowledge and understanding of the policies and procedures in place in their respective counties to form one cohesive knowledge set. Time was allowed for the referencing of additional reports and input on individual questions. The final result of the report forms the basis for a comprehensive overview of the state of Connected Health readiness not only at a local, but also at a European wide, level.
