To evaluate the connected health project in Barcelona k ey personnel responsible at different levels of healthcare delivery were interviewed. Specific questionnaires were designed to gather their views on the current state of the project and their vision for the future. A q uestionnaire was provided to key personnel responsible for the National Electronic
Healthcare Record (NEHR) Project in Singapore to make an appropriate comparison of
NEHR to the connected healthcare project in Barcelona. I n addition, the healthcare IT solutions available at different healthcare providers were comprehensively reviewed.
Well documented connected healthcare projects were studied in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and leading practices followed in the healthcare IT sector in different parts of the world. The lessons learnt were used to propose the future evolution of the Atención Integral Sanitaria de Barcelona- Esquerra
(AISBE) project keeping in mind the current system architecture, policies and economic crisis. Upinder Singh
