International Telemedicine Symposium
30 October 2002 - 30 October 2002
The second international symposium on telemedicine, including telecare and e-health, will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden from the 15 to 19 December 2002.
Telemedicine has developed significantly during the last 10 to 15 years. However, there is a wide variation between both different telemedicine applications and countries concerning the development and use of telemedicine.
The aim of the symposium is to focus on the development of telemedicine, bringing together a multidisciplinary team of international participants and a substantial number of highly recognised speakers, to get a deeper understanding of the needs and the factors determining acceptance and diffusion of telemedicine.
This multidisciplinary approach is necessary to combine experiences from medical, public health, economical, organisational, authoritative, technological, and industrial fields. This is equally true for the improvement of health care quality in its broadest sense, access to health care, cost efficiency, education and research.
The symposium is organised by Telia Research and is supported by the Commission's, Human Potential programme.For further information, please visit:
