Innovative technologies for health and telemedicine

Telemedicine study groups

The Italian National Institute of Health (ISS), through the National center for telemedicine and new care technologies, promotes and coordinates specific National study groups for the different medical and surgical specialties, as well as for those cases or situations that are of technical and organizational importance.

The groups collect and analyze the scientific evidence to define medicalcare safety and effectiveness, as well as management efficiency, of the health activities provided in Telemedicine and / or with the use of new digital technologies.

From this activity we obtain the elements to create, in collaboration with the societies and the scientific associations of reference, shared guidelines that guide healthcare professionals in the practical exercise of their profession. These documents can then be launched for consideration by the National Guidelines System (SNLG).
