- Biomedical research has provided medicine with a molecular, genetic, and metabolic dimension
-
(18 August 2010)Cutting-edge biomedical research is providing a wealth of digital data on patient anatomy, physiology, molecular genetics, biomarkers, and, last but not least, treatment effects. Information and communication technology can help to aggregate this data and create a 'virtual physiological human'; a digital model for simulating and predicting the effects of treatment, based on the specific situation of the individual patient.

- El reto de la Telemedicina en Europa
-
30 July 2010
La telemedicina, o medicina a distancia, no es una idea de nuevo cuño. Ya se hablaba de ella en los primeros programas-marco financiados por la Comisión, dio lugar a múltiples ejemplos y proyectos piloto que rápidamente evidenciaron sus limitaciones, ya fuera por motivos técnicos (rendimiento de las redes y de los dispositivos médicos) o por motivos de aceptación por parte de los profesionales sanitarios. Este número especial tiene como finalidad ayudarle a analizar el desarrollo de la telemedicina en sus diferentes aspectos, en entornos diferentes. Es un conjunto de testimonios y análisis llevados a cabo por responsables políticos e industriales, por pacientes y representantes de los profesionales sanitarios, lo que nos parece el mejor modo de transmitir mensajes breves y comprensibles por todos los públicos.

The European Commission considers eHealth a lead market as defined by its Lead Market Initiative. Given the growth of the home market, European companies are well positioned to become leading providers of eHealth technologies worldwide. The key to success will be business models that acknowledge the needs of practitioners in day-to-day professional activities.

- "The Telemedicine challenge in Europe"
-
2 July 2010
The aim of this special edition of "The European Files" is to help take stock of the development of telemedicine, in all its diverse forms, and in a range of different environments. It is a collection of accounts and analyses by political and industrial decision-makers, patients and professional healthcare representatives, who seem to be best-placed to communicate messages that are both brief and easily understandable to all audiences. It also aims to clarify the problems which are still holding back the development of telemedicine, and to outline a sketch of what the medicine of tomorrow might look like. Lastly, it demonstrates that only an effort on the part of all actors in medical care will be necessary in order for telemedicine to be accepted by all, and that it will be the role of the political decision-makers to ensure that interministerial mechanisms are developed in such a way as to take into account its multidisciplinary nature. (Available in EN and in ES - soon in FR).
