MEDITRAV IST-1999-11490

The aim of MEDITRAV is to address the need for cost-effective and continuous provision of integrated health services to European citizens, suffering from chronic diseases, such as diabetis, outside their country of residence. In order to achieve this objective, a network of healthcare service providers and payers, based on Web technologies and supporting multi-lingual utilities, will be developed and set-up on a European level. The technical platform features a health smart card and allows easy and secure access to the Traveler Information Record, TIR, which contains medical, health insurance and generally administrative data. Essentially, the traveler health smart card provides a portable, electronic medical file, that contains a generic personal, medical and health insurance data set in order to provide on site, the required services in case of health problem related to chronic diseases (and in emergency cases). Moreover, smart card assures access authentication and personal data security.
