Exporting embedded systems for telemedicine to the Sweden, Finland and Denmark

The use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in healthcare is widespread in Denmark, Sweden and Finland (Scandinavia). There are established national telemedicine strategies in Scandinavia to promote the segment across regions. Besides the state support and initiatives, the industry (for example, software developers) contributes to further development and higher acceptance of telemedicine. The share of embedded systems used in telemedicine is small compared to other industrial applications. Nevertheless, telemedicine is seen as a high-potential segment and is expected to drive the demand for more complex embedded systems.
