September 2016: workshop eHealth in ISMETT

On September 26/27, 2016 ISMETT will host a workshop to discuss “Partnership for Innovation in Health care: Hot Spots in the Euro-Mediterranean area” organized by UPMC Italy, ISMETT and ETHEL (European Health Telematics Association). A group of international experts in the IT field, including members of European Commission, will be present at the event.

This event will be one of a series of initiatives launched by ISMETT and UPMC Italy to support the development in the field of eHealth. Innovation and new technologies set new challenges and offer outstanding opportunities for the development of public health in Italy and in Europe. ISMETT and the Region of Sicily, have always been promoters of activities and international cooperation in research and technological development.
