At this year's TeleHealth exhibition and conference, which for the first time is fully integrated into the annual trade show CeBIT, diabetics will be transformed into cyber-patients, our own beds into wireless sleep laboratories, and the doctor's practice into a high-tech communications centre. Over two days, 7 and 8 March 2008, the TeleHealth show-within-a-show in Hall 8 will focus on telemedicine processes in healthcare and the latest eHealth solutions. What future role will information technology play in the medical care of patients in hospitals and general practices? How can information technology help to reduce costs in the healthcare sector? Visitors to this year's CeBIT can find answers to these and other questions at TeleHealth 2008, which for the first time this year is being staged as an integral part of CeBIT, the world's biggest trade fair for the digital industry.

The European Commission's Directorate Information Society and Media played a key role in
facilitating and focussing discussions on key topics in eHealth such as patient safety, standards
harmonisation, industry activities or the healthcare professionals' experience with health
ICT. All sessions benefited from the input of high calibre speakers and chairs and triggered
lively debates.
