4. OBJECTIVE(S) OF THE GOOD PRACTICE
To support smart synergies with health - IT sector to bridge the gap between stakeholders (health, tourism, social, patients)
Since no global medical – health tourism service ecosystem framework due to restrictive EU and national legislation, Vidavo proposes autonomous e-use of e/m health innovations in local contexts.
