This work contributes to the discussion on the relationship between ICT and ehealth solutions in primary care, and self-reported health and health status in the European Union. The method used is an ordinary least squares linear model. The results show that there is no significant relation between self-reported health outcomes and ICT and ehealth indexes, except for self-reported chronic health problems. The more advanced that countries are in ICT, the larger is the share of people reporting a chronic health problem. This provides evidence on the existence of a link between chronic patients and ICT development.
本研究旨在探讨信息通信技术（ICT）和初级保健电子健康解决方案与欧盟自我报告健康状况和健康状况之间的关系。方法采用普通最小二乘线性模型。结果表明，除自我报告的慢性健康问题外，自我报告的健康结果与 ICT 和电子健康指标之间没有显著关系。在信息通信技术方面越先进的国家，报告存在慢性健康问题的人所占比例越大。这为慢性患者与信息通信技术发展之间存在联系提供了证据。
