eHealth and Developing Countries (1):The aim of this presentation is to describe an on-going Spanish project for
home-based assistance services. The latter are expected to be a key factor in
the evolution of assistance systems. The use of new information technologies
can allow end users to obtain care and social services at any location, erasing
many obstacles from current assistance services and creating a universal
service everybody can access. Home-based Assistance Services need to bridge
the differences between the various layers in order to introduce assistance in
the patient's house.
