Extract
Electronic health (e-health) and mobile health (m-health) technologies came into medicine on a wave of rapid digitalisation in all areas of public life at the beginning of the 21st century. Even before a group dedicated to digital health was established within European Respiratory Society (ERS) Assembly 1, clinicians and researchers from many ERS assemblies and groups had been exploring the potential of telemedicine and telehealthcare. Significant achievements have been made in using e-health/m-health for tuberculosis treatment control, smoking cessation [1], conducting remote pulmonary rehabilitation, physical activity tele-coaching [2] and supporting self management [3].
