RENEWING HEALTH is an european project and aims at implementing large-scale real-life test beds for the validation and subsequent evaluation of innovative telemedicine services using a patient-centred approach and a common rigorous assessment methodology.

It involves 9 of the most advanced regions in the implementation of health-related ICT services, where service solutions are already operational at local level for the telemonitoring and the treatment of chronic patients suffering from diabetes, chronic obstrutive pulmonary or cardiovascolar diseases.

Although integration of the service solutions at regional level is the highest priority for the Project partners, the use of international standards and the progressive convergence towards common interoperable architectures will be equally sought to prepare and facilitate their subsequent scaling up at national and European levels.
