The discussion around telemedicine has been in place in Europe for over a decade. However, reality has shown that telemedicine has only gained relevance in recent years with the flourishing of health apps, with the increase in the so-called mHealth. Telemedicine, which in its most traditional sense, was challenged in 2020 with the pandemic and its use has increased exponentially.
Despite the advantages of its use, many continue, however, to highlight its inconveniences and to put obstacles to the use of this tool that they see only as a resource and complementary instrument.
The topic continues to be challenging both for health and for the law, raising very interesting questions about the type of telemedicine, professional secrecy, personal health data and other personal data, and cross-border healthcare, etc.
