Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines eHealth as the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health. Thailand is one of the leading countries in emerging and developing economy that the use of ICT applications is pervasive including eHealth. However, the status of eHealth in Thailand hasn't been assessed. Employing the WHO global Observatory for eHealth development model and its instrument, this study describes the uptake of eHealth foundations and the extent of eHealth applications and services implemented in the country. A group of the nation 18 eHealth experts met and evaluated country eHealth status and provided recommendations. The results show that the development of the country's eHealth foundations is inadequate and need to be the priority for national eHealth development.
