The growing number of patients with chronic diseases, the
ageing population worldwide, the rapid increase in hospital
costs and in the cost of care personnel as well as the achieving
medical objectives “increase the patient quality of life and
survival” face Europe with a huge challenge. One of the
solutions for reaching these challenges in the future is the
deployment of complex eHealth systems in support of all the
healthcare aspects on the way between patient home and
healthcare provider. In the last decade the European
Commission (EC) in cooperation with healthcare associations
and standardization institutes announced large frameworks for
supporting research and development of various components of
the future eHealth systems. This may be considered as an
immediate interdisciplinary opportunity for European
researchers and developers to create jointly the spine of future
healthcare systems.
After a short introduction to eHealth architecture,
interoperability, security and privacy the talk refers to the
interdisciplinary solutions which approach these healthcare
huge overall challenge. Two case studies will be addressed: a)
interdisciplinary partnership for conducting jointly European
research concerning remote control and management of future
wearable dialysis devices, and b) ERASMUS supported
international education programs for creating future
interdisciplinary expert networks working on developing and
implementing a better healthcare system.
