ISfTeH: Telemedicine and eHealth in Poland: Progress, Challenges, and Future Directions

Wyróżnione

The International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH), in collaboration with the Polish Telemedicine and e-Health Society, invites participants to an upcoming webinar  (2026-04-13 12:00UTC online) devoted to recent developments in telemedicine, eHealth, and the broader digital transformation of healthcare in Poland.

The event forms part of the expanding ISfTeH webinar series organized by its national member societies. For readers of the Finnish Journal of eHealth and eWelfare, it may be seen as a continuation of the international exchange initiated by the January 2026 webinar, Effectiveness of Digital Health Care Services – Case Studies from Finland. That session brought together distinguished speakers from Finland, including leaders in academia and healthcare, who presented practical insights and real-world examples on the effectiveness of digital health services. Our upcoming Polish webinar offers a national perspective, focusing on Poland’s recent experience in digital health development.

The webinar will present Poland as a case study of dynamic change in digitally enabled healthcare. Particular attention will be given to the growth of teleconsultations, the implementation of e-prescriptions, the development of national eHealth infrastructure, and the emergence of AI-supported solutions in clinical practice. The discussion will address key challenges, including interoperability, quality evaluation, regulation, physician education, and the evolving role of Clinical Informatics and Digital Medicine -a specialty for physicians.

The draft programme includes contributions from presenters representing academia, professional organizations, public institutions, and industry. Together, these contributions will offer a broad overview of current progress in Polish telemedicine and eHealth, while also reflecting on unresolved systemic barriers, examples of practical innovation, and possible future directions.

More broadly, the webinar reflects ISfTeH’s continuing effort to strengthen international dialogue among national member societies and to share country-based experiences that may inform digital health policy, research, and practice across Europe and beyond.

Date: 13 April 2026 (Monday)
Time: 12:00 UTC / 14:00 CEST
Format: Online

Further details and registration information will be shared through ISfTeH communication channels.

Breaking Silos – Creating a Connected Health System in Nigeria

Join us on March 11th for this session which is part of a series of webinars, organized by national member societies of the International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth. In this edition, the Society for Telemedicine and eHealth in Nigeria (SFTeHIN) will discuss the connected health system in Nigeria.

The session will highlight the prevailing fragmentation among digital health solutions currently operating in Nigeria. Many providers offer great solutions, including telemedicine platforms, Electronic Medical Records, AI-driven tools, and patient-generated health data systems such as wearables. However, these solutions largely operate in silos. The data collected across these platforms are not sufficiently integrated to enable continuity of care, population health analytics, or improved patient outcomes – whether in preventive health or curative service delivery.

This session will underscore the systemic challenges posed by this lack of interoperability and emphasize the importance of adopting interoperable standards as a strategic pathway toward building a connected health ecosystem that delivers better health outcomes in Nigeria.

A guest speaker will provide an overview of what the connected health system in Nigeria looks like, assess the current state of digital health interoperability, and identify key structural and policy barriers limiting effective integration.

A panel of experts from the private, public and non-profit sectors will share cross-cutting insights and propose practical, system-level solutions from their respective perspectives.

  • Opening: Dr. Adeolu Arogundade, President, SFTeHIN.
  • ISfTeH Welcome Address: Dr. Michele Griffith, President, ISfTeH.
  • Guest Speaker: Breaking Silos – Creating A Connected Health System In Nigeria: Dr. Emeka Chukwu.
  • Panel Session – Creating A Connected Health System In Nigeria – Pathways To Success:
    • Dr. Folarin Olasogba.
    • Dr. Iniobong Ekong.
    • Mrs. Roseline Ilori.
    • Moderator: Dr. Raphael Akangbe.
  • Closing Remarks: Dr. Justin Ekpa.

eTELEMED 2026

Dear eTELEMED friends, hopefully you enjoyed the program and the logistics during the eTELEMED 2025 held in Nice, France and also with a heavy online presence. We thank everyone for help, contribution, and participation.

We continue to develop programs to raise the visibility and quality of the IARIA conferences through:

1. Panels, Speeches, and Tutorials:

A compedium of the slides used during the panels and speeches are posted.
Tutorials are also available.

2. The on line journals

The online journals are a compedium of extended versions submitted by invitation only from the outstanding IARIA conference papers, either awarded or with high quality ones. The authors get invitation and instructions for submissions; paper reviews will follow the same process and use the same tools as for a conference. One journal covers topics from multiple conferences; special issues are possible.

We expect two issues a year for each journal, with a publishing lifecycle of about 6 months.

3. IARIA Facebook group

A Facebook group was created in order to provide an informal gathering group for people attending IARIA conferences. It mostly receives photos drectly from the event location both from the organizers as well as the attendees. Feel free to join and participate.

4. Awards

The conference awards are also posted

eTELEMED 2026 is scheduled to be in Venice, Italy during May 24 – 28, 2026 under the DigitalWorld 2026 umbrella.
