Objective
Telemedicine, "medicine and health at a distance" is a method and tool on the way to be introduced in health care systems, worldwide. Telemedicine was proposed and introduced in the sector of maritime medicine in the early 1920s and pioneered in other fields during the 1940s and 1950s. Developments in telecommunications and other technologies initiated further technology focused telemedicine projects during the 1970s and 1980s.
In the beginning of the 1990s there was a shift in research and telemedicine projects towards identifying and solving medical and health care system problems with telemedicine technology. This has been further strengthen during the latest years e.g. to see telemedicine as a tool to reorganise the health care system to offer more efficiency, effectiveness, quality and to offer the patients more service, freedom and safety, not the least amongst the growing part of elderly in Europe.
