The role that new technologies will play in shaping the future is well-known to the European Commission that has decided to launch a first ever Digital Europe programme<\/a> and invest \u20ac9.2 billion to align the next long-term EU budget 2021-2027 with increasing digital challenges.<\/p>\n

As emphasised by Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society, the impact of digitalisation on healthcare<\/a> is huge. However, to ensure a smooth transition, it is crucial that digital tools place citizens at the core of the health and social care delivery process.
