Abstract(s)
Perante o acentuado desenvolvimento da e-saúde, das suas ferramentas e possíveis utilizações,
urge fazer uma avaliação do estado de arte, reunir os conceitos chave para a sua abordagem e
interpretação, apresentar as vantagens e obstáculos que existem na sua integração nos sistemas
de saúde e, também, enumerar alguns exemplos em vigor no mundo, que provam o sucesso
destas tecnologias.
Assim, neste trabalho, são caracterizadas as populações e áreas que mais podem beneficiar
com este tipo de práticas (e de que forma o podem fazer), qual o papel que a telessaúde
desempenha, atualmente, e qual poderá vir a ter num futuro próximo. Defende-se que o seu
desenvolvimento seja sustentável e sempre respeitador da segurança do utilizador, colocandoo no centro de todos os projetos, garantindo que é o utente o maior beneficiário de todos estes
processos e que não vê os seus cuidados de saúde saírem prejudicados com a implementação
deste tipo de tecnologias. Muitas questões merecem uma séria reflexão por serem novas e não
terem sido, ainda, alvo de legislação e regulamentação apropriadas: algumas delas são
apresentadas no decorrer deste trabalho.
With the rapidly progress of e-health, its tools and possible uses, come the need to evaluate the current stage and gather all the basic concepts for its approach and right interpretation, as well as the advantages and obstacles it brings to the health systems. It is also necessary to give some examples of what is, currently, being done in the world and their proof of success. Therefore, I characterize the areas and populations that might have more to benefit with the use of these technologies (and how they can do it), the e-health’s role and what it can do in the near future. I advocate the growth of these alternative ways of practicing medicine to be sustainable and respectful of the patient´s safety, prioritizing them, and ensuring that they benefit from this process without ever putting their health in jeopardy. Many questions deserve consideration, as they bring new dilemmas and are not yet under proper legislation: some of them are presented in this work
