This article provides some background from the early days before there were any convenient labels for this segment, looks at where we are today with eHealth (successes and failures, gaps in understanding and in the value business case, strategic acceptance and lessons learnt) and then takes a view forward for the next decade looking at how we can expect eHealth to evolve in the real world, why it is important, what are the critical success factors, and a brief view of the world of eHealth at the end of the decade.
