The government will handle the bill on eHealth Diagnosis

The improvement of the e-health strategy with the e-Consilium strategy and the Home Medical Care System, as well as allowing artificial intelligence to be utilized in the medical-diagnostic process – these are any of the solutions contained in the wellness ministry project, which will be handled by the government on Tuesday.

Thanks to the platform it will be possible to analyse diagnostic images faster and more accurately, and thus to undertake faster medical interventions. Doctors and electroradiologists will be able to get in a comparatively short time an explanation of the consequence performed by the AI algorithm.

The MZ task besides assumes an extension of the eHealth strategy to the e-Consilium strategy and Home Medical Care System.
