چکیده
Yes, I was involved with several e-health projects awarded via the EU European Regional Development Fund (INTERREg) to the University of Cyprus, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Cyprus, Nicosia general Hospital, Makarios Hospital, Pafos general Hospital, and Polis Chrysohous Hospital (including the rural medical centres at Kyperounta, and Pyrgos). These projects covered the development of an integrated platform for improving healthcare provision in the Mediterranean region and on mobile and robotised telemedicine for emergency vehicles, and monitoring of children with cardiac diseases funded by the Research Promotion Foundation of Cyprus. Unfortunately, although these services were successfully deployed and their need has been clearly demonstrated, they have not been placed in routine clinical practise, so that patients could truly benefit.
