There are multiple commercial eHealth platforms and research projects working in this type of system, but only some of them take into account patients´ interaction. This paper presents an approach of eHealth system based on user centered design. To achieve a user centered design system, a multidisciplinary development team has been cooperated. The proposed system permits the communication between doctor and patient with chronic diseases through the information exchange in a simple and efficient way. With this system we can analyse the important of the feedback provided to the patient and follow her/his evolution online detecting deviations faster than with the traditional health systems. The system has been tested by doctors and patients with different chronic diseases, and objectives and subjective resultsobtained by surveys-are promising.

A Review of Telemedicine Services in Finland

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Telemedicine is gaining popularity due to the provision of ubiquitous health care services that is a fundamental need for every socialized society. In this paper, telemedicine services in Finland are discussed, as well as how they came into existence, how they are funded, evaluated, and what are their impacts on health care systems and society. Telemedicine services like teleradiology, telelaboratory, telepsychiatry and remote consultations, are being offered in all hospital districts. Primary health care centers in Finland are lacking telemedicine services, and are planning to have them. Electronic Patient Records (EPR), with e-referral and e-discharge letters, have prevented patients from unnecessary repeated laboratory examinations and treatments. The e-Archive (Finland's national EPR) is in the planning stage, making EPR on national level, to promote ease of access to patient records and ubiquitous care. The e-Prescription project is also in the planning stage, which aims to enhance drug safety, prevent forged prescription, and prevent threat to a patient's life.
