Establishing an evidence base for e-health: a call for papers

In 2001 Eysenbach defined e-health as “an emerging field in the intersection of medical informatics, public health and business, referring to health services and information delivered or enhanced through the Internet and related tech-nologies. In a broader sense, the term characterizes not only a technical devel-opment, but also a state-of-mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commit-ment for networked, global thinking, to improve health care locally, regionally and worldwide by using information and communication technology.”
