• Dissemination of new “high bandwidth” technologies in genome and proteome research (e.g. micro-arrays)

• huge volume of structural (gene localization)
• functional (gene expression) data

• Generalization of digital patient files and digital medical images

• Implementation of (regional and inter-national) health networks

• All information is available, people are connected to the network.

• The question is: How can we use it ?
