Abstract

The chapter studies e-health applications in the frame of the broader concept of the e3Health. It shows how the scheme proposed by J.H. van Bemmel in 1984 can be used for classification of e-health applications. Apart from the electronic feature of e-health applications, the authors discuss two other features connected with health economics and environmental health. In addition, two areas of e-health applications (electronic health record and clinical guidelines) with concrete examples from the point of view of the e3Health concept are discussed.
