Description (short summary):
Worldwide, the application of information and communication technologies to support national health-care services is rapidly expanding and increasingly important. This is especially so at a time when all health systems face stringent economic challenges and greater demands to provide more and better care, especially to those most in need.
Description (short summary):
Deployment and use of technological services for informal carers is still limited, mainly due to users' low digital skills, the lack of demonstrated business cases, and the poor evidence of the impact and sustainability of these services.

Description (short summary):
Europe is ageing and that comes with challenges, both social and economic. The number of people aged 65+ in Europe will almost double from 85 to 151 million in 2060. Living longer is better, but it is also a formidable challenge for both public and private budgets, for public services and for older people and their families. New approaches and solutions are urgently needed and the public should be aware of them.
Description (short summary):
This report reviews the state of health informatics standards and interoperability with respect to the use of mobile health among low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with the aim of identifying critical gaps and opportunities to support the scale up of mHealth.
