heal.abstract	Health delivery practices are shifting towards home care, since there are better possibilities for managing chronic care, controlling health delivery costs, increasing quality of life and quality of health services and the distinct possibility of predicting and thus avoiding serious complications. Mobility brings a totally new dimension to the healthcare domain and to the whole interdisciplinary provision of regional healthcare. Healthcare services can be provided in virtually any location, where access to a mobile communications system is available. Mobile tele-health systems apply mobility as a potential means in order to bring significant improvements to emergency, treatment, routine check-ups and medical consultation. e-Vital project (eTen) and CHS project (IST) worked towards m-health applications.1 © 2006 IEEE.	en
