Abstract

Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM), a research and development program undertaken by the European Community to apply information and communication technologies to medicine and health care, is described. The objectives of the program are to increase harmony and cohesion in this area across Europe, to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of medicine, and to strengthen the competitiveness of the European telematics industry by demanding innovative services. The exploratory and development phases of AIM are discussed. The strategies, content, goals, and scope of the projects in AIM are outlined
