eHealth

I am often asked, “What is eHEALTH?”  

Suno Wood, Chair, ETSI TC eHEALTH

Working we are developing in ISO TC 215 WG1 - AWI TR 24305 "Health informatics - Guidelines for implementation of HL7/FHIR based on ISO 13940 and ISO 13606", and specifically in mapping FHIR resources with ISO13606-3 Clinical Reference Information Structures (CRIS) based on ISO13606-1 archetypes and CONTSYS concepts, we have identified a certain number of challenges and limitations and expect from the community contributions to address the challenges. For example: 
Should we map FHIR profiles or FHIR resources?

eHEALTH issues are often high on the list of potential applications of AI - but these are difficult to quantify and narrow down to the clear focus required for a standardization Work Item. We are looking for a way to address this. eHEALTH concerns include Human Rights and support for health living for the elderly, but most AI applications are for a much wider audience. Can you recommend an eHEALTH application for AI which needs a new standard to be written? or do we wait for other groups to pick up the baton?

Dear experts.

Health data is personal data and thus falls under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Hence data security and privacy preservation should be addressed in every step of the data processing flow.
