This session aims to show specific programs finalized or still ongoing developed to control outbreaks arising in countries belonging to Africa (preferment in Maghreb or sub-Saharan Africa), Latin-America or Europe (preferment Mediterranean or Eastern European countries). The role of ICTs - especially wireless communication, clinical data registries and geographical information systems (GIS) - in providing valid indicators of serious disease endemics or epidemics and SPECIALLY be useful to make a forecast allowing to take decissions to apply in practice. The approaches can be very heterogeneous but equally helpful for fighting against diseases, improve or prevent them.

Ageing is a global challenge with a high impact in developed countries. There is a sum of conditions that difficults the autonomy of the person and his/her wellbeing: chronic diseases, handicaps, physicial limitations, etc. In order to prevent and assists the citizens in such scenario eHealth has a role in the near future. Specific interoperable computerized platforms, integrated with healthcare clinical record are tools with a lot of possibilites to help in this challenge.

Clinical research has done a big progress thanks to the computerization of clinical registries in databases since the eighties. Twenty years after, the electronic patient records (EPR) is becoming a reality, but the structure is still based upon administrative processes and declarative statements using the natural language. It's time to develop new approaches ef EPR with a structure that allows a clinical picture of the patients and their problems and the management of them. At the same time, systems biology and genomics are advancing very fast developing computerized models to explain the biomedical structure and function of living organisms. Also the biomedical knowledge is going more and more structured into the Net, making easier the interoperability.
