The "Chain of Trust" project started off in January 2011 with the overall objective of assessing the perspective of the main end users of telehealth services across the EU to see whether and how views have evolved since the initial deployment of telehealth and what barriers there still are to building confidence in and acceptance of this innovative type of services.

Ultimately the project will aim at strengthening significantly the levels of awareness and trust for all key stakeholders. The findings and the recommendations will constitute a unique tool to inform policies and decision-making at various levels.

The Chain of Trust project is co-funded by the Public Health Programme of the European Union managed by the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers (EAHC).
