Abstract
A discussion on matters arising from encountered problems while designing and introducing e-health systems is presented in this paper. In particular, some difficulties in the adaption of ICT to e-health systems have been emphasised. Additionally, the future vision of healthcare evolution by means of information technology is analysed. Questions which arose as to the main challenges for healthcare systems were both technological and non-technological.
