European Cardiology Association: Current Status and Challenges of E-health

From the HIS system commonly used in hospitals to the currently high-speed development of wearable electronic medical equipment , electronic medical care has penetrated into all aspects of the medical industry . Recently, Professor Martin R. Cowie from the International Institute of the University of London's Imperial College cardiopulmonary behalf of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) for electronic medical published in the European Heart Journal Opinion Journal.

E-health refers to the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support health and wellness-related activities. It covers several areas: health management, health support, health education, health information transfer and research. Some medical experts and government officials believe that e-health is not only a technological innovation, but also a part of current medical problems.

currently existing problems

In theory, technological innovation will lead to interdisciplinary cooperation, information sharing and technical discussions, but in fact, many technologies are bound by ethical and legal aspects. The integration of new technologies in the medical system is actually very difficult. In this fast-growing field, the reaction between different countries will be very slow.

In 2012, the EU has made an eight-year action plan for e-health, which will fill a huge vacant market. However, certain problems have also appeared in specific actions, which has hindered the popularization of electronic medical care. These issues include: Lack of awareness and confidence in e-health; limited cost data on a large scale; lack of legal information and a good mobile experience.

The EU has also issued a document for mobile health . More than 100,000 mobile phone apps have been launched, and the top 20 free apps have accumulated more than 230 million downloads. It is estimated that more than 3 billion people will use smartphones by 2017, and half of them will use these apps.

Currently, there is no clear distinction between professional medical applications and applications that improve lifestyles, and developers of these medical applications have no clear risk responsibilities. Some medical professionals are also unsure of the value of these application data and will not take into account the data for these applications until they make a medical decision.

In addition, the new technology will not be profitable in a short time is also a major factor. These have hindered the development and promotion of mobile medical care.

Similar problems have arisen on wearable devices, including wristbands and watches that record physical activity information. In theory, these devices can help people choose a healthy lifestyle. However, new devices that are evolving at high speeds are likely to be as effective as those described in advertisements, and even some functions are harmful to the human body. The line between patients and consumers is becoming increasingly blurred, and these should be the responsibility of medical organizations.

Opportunities and Challenges

This article explains ESC's opinion on e-health, which depicts a medium-term roadmap that will guide ESC's various departments to work together to create opportunities. ESC will invest a lot of energy in education, training, and research to support e-health and make education a core task. Through the annual European Cardiology Congress, the ESC department will fully integrate e-health education into every level, including presentations, seminars and online courses. By updating the curriculum and outline, ESC will ensure that the major projects of e-health are fully distributed to individual member organizations and in-depth cooperation with other relevant professional organizations.

As ESC conducts further research activities, ESC will use e-health as a core research. In addition, ESC will support and encourage its members to conduct in-depth research, including: development of more solutions, unified data standards, data linkage, optimization of intelligence processing, and enhanced user and professional docking.

This is an era of information, and I believe that e-health will make our medical environment even better.
