Abstract
Telemedicine has a long and reasonably successful history in sparsely populated countries like Australia, Canada and Norway. However, in densely populated countries and areas, uptake has been slow and the economic benefits small or non-existent. In Denmark for example, telemedicine seems to be caught between national standardization initiatives and local experiments. Thus, on the one
hand, new standard infrastructures are developed and deployed while, on the other hand, new, local experiments, e.g., supporting patients with a chronic disease, are developed without connection to this infrastructure.
