From fragmentation to alignment: Why telehealth societies must shape the next phase of global digital health

Opublikowany przez

We are pleased to share article, coauthored by the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth and Polish Telemedicine and e-Health Society members, titled „From fragmentation to alignment: Why telehealth societies must shape the next phase of global digital health”, in Volume 18, Issue 1 (2026) of the Finnish Journal of eHealth and eWelfare, available at https://doi.org/10.23996/fjhw.178234.

Abstract
National telehealth and eHealth societies are essential actors in digital transformation, yet their impact remains uneven, fragmented, and insufficiently coordinated. Drawing on trends across ten countries, including Finland, Germany, India, the Ivory Coast, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, Nigeria, Poland, and Slovenia, this opinion argues that these societies hold crucial but underused positions in global digital health governance. They contribute to evidence generation, regulatory discourse, workforce development, and the adaptation of digital solutions to local contexts. However, without structured mechanisms for collaboration, such strengths remain isolated and global disparities deepen. We propose that the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH) can evolve from a networking platform into an orchestrator that consolidates knowledge, reduces duplication, and supports equitable digital transformation. The future of telehealth depends not only on technological innovation but also on institutions’ capacity to share expertise, co-develop strategies, and build collective capabilities.

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.
