ABSTRACT
This chapter describes 'good practice' in the promotion of health and well-being by use of telematic services. Health promotion is deemed the facilitation of positive health and the prevention of ill health. As a result of the communications occurred with key people in a number of European and North American Institutions and countries. The EU is served by a single institutional framework which respects the national identity of its member states. The membership is broadly representative of the strengths of the political groups in the Parliament and all nine languages of the Union are normally represented. The European Commission is the policy planning body responsible for the administration of the Union and its funds. Telematics in Health Care is by far the largest programme. The main area of activity is diagnosis and surveillance for clinical decision making. Projects of interest with regard to health promotion include fetal monitoring and diabetic self care.
