Building a Future
of Digital Health Services:
the Potential of e-Health
in Public Health Emergencies

The Covid-19 crisis has highlighted the need to digitalize and modernize our healthcare systems in order to swiftly answer to global emergencies as well as cope with the increasing pressure of an ageing population, non-communicable and chronic diseases. From the coordination of care teams, to cross-border health threats, to personalized care, to the management of key limited resources, the potential of e-health should be harnessed to make our healthcare systems more effective and responsive to modern challenges. Although a national competence, channeling the power of connectivity, data and AI through the digitalization of the health sector will lessen administrative burdens, empower care teams and patients and improve their experience.
