Information and communication technologies are about to make a massive move into medical practice, not only in selected areas of 'high-tech' medicine, but throughout the field. Research in information technologies is needed in the areas of massive data collection related to patient, medical imaging, cancer detection, ERH, education and in training as well. We need to realize that every year that goes by there is more and more information added in medical science and there is a strong argument to be made that the greatest work is being done with the help of information technology. When we consider that this information is coming from all around the world, we need a way to get easy access and only reliable source is information technology. ICT will allow medical researchers to determine the effectiveness of a particular treatment for a given population or to discover the harmful side-effects of a drug.
