摘要：Introduction - a short history of telemedicine in Sweden Telemedicine has a long history in Sweden, as in many other countries. In Sweden, the first known telemedicine trial took place around 1915, in the field of remote reading of ECG signals across the campus at Lund University. Sea-to-shore telemedicine started in the beginning of the 1920s from Sahlgren University Hospital, in Gothenburg, to Swedish vessels around the world, a service that is still operational today. This makes Sweden one of the pioneering countries in telemedicine.(Int J Circumpolar Health 2004; 63(4):317-321)
