Abstract
Telehealth represents a new approach to health-care with the potential for improving accessibility and reducing costs. Over the years, technology has become increasingly interactive, cheaper and standardized. Despite this, the uptake of technology has been low. One of the main reasons is that the introduction of telematics in health-care requires more than technology and software--organizational and cultural change is required as well. A suggested approach is based on the principles of service quality and quality management, to produce a partnership between the users and the developers of new technologies. This will in turn make it possible to bring user-validated requirements into the design of the system and create feelings of ownership and motivation on the part of users, in order to prepare their environment for the change. The methodology has been effectively used in various projects of the Telematics Application Programme of the European Commission.
