[m-health in an age of e-health. Promises, challenges and liabilities]

Abstract

e-Health offers perspectives for patients, healthcare professionals and healthcare system, although this concept appears difficult to appreciate and to define. Uncertainties remain on the efficiency of these tools and their safety in particular with respect to personal data of the patients. Thus, we can observe the emergence of new categories of liabilities, not only with respect to the development of these new tools, but also regarding their distribution.
