  • Abstract
    The paper deals with some aspects of potential transfer of know how from some EU projects under the former IST 6FP and current ICT 7FP as accumulated from our research and development activities within the implementation of the EU Lisbon strategy on e-Europe regarding e-Health as one of the key sectors not only in the EU but also within its African counterpart i.e. the African Union and their member states. The paper presents also some ideas on the potential implementation of the particular know how in Africa thanks mainly to the ongoing mobile phone revolution in the continent and its effects on the development of intuitive education of patients in modern e-Health services.
