Abstract

The widespread of telemedicine introduce new challenges. Among these can be mentioned: Adapting health care supply to demographic trends as far as both patients and healthcare professionals are concerned; The people wish to remain independent and in good health for as long as possible; The increasing specialisation and complexity of medicine; The introduction of advanced technologies in home care medicine. From the standardisation viewpoint, a group of French experts have anticipated these concerns by getting under way and developing projects to define medical device communication in the home and by taking part in standardisation projects on the interoperability of data and systems for health.
