Although there are obvious disparities between different national healthcare system, there is a gradual effort to accelerate the digitalization of healthcare system. In a recent article published on the www.digitalhealthnet.com entitled “Digital solutions for the prevention of chronic diseases” the key challenges of using digital solutions for the prevention of chronic diseases was discussed.

Through data! Impact analysis, HealthEconomics, Societal and Organizational Impact or as it is known Health Technology Assessment (HTA). The Model for Assessment Telemedicine (MAST) and the Joint Action to Support the eHealth Network (JAseHN) are the most used frameworks in the European Union for multidisciplinary process that summarizes and evaluates information about the medical, social, economic, and ethical issues related to the use of telemedicine in a systematic, unbiased, robust manner.
The information gathered through the HTA process will better align eHealth investments to health needs, as this is the key objective of the EU and the European Network for Health Technology Assessment. More information: https://www.eunethta.eu/.
