Abstract

Cyber-health is one of the most important results of IT revolution by enabling the communication between health workers & patients. So far several countries & enterprises have offered different services to their consumers. In Iran, many island activities have been carried out to conducting cyber-health too. But they are not as progressed as Iran ICT capabilities. In this study we are on the way of identifying & ranking essential criteria for cyber-health. Since it is not implementable for all medical specialties, we have chosen cardiovascular disease users, including cardiovascular medicine, patients & also their families. So in this paper after a brief literature review on cyber-health, cardiovascular criteria will be identified & collected. Then using the methods of Multiple Criteria Decision Making, collected criteria, according to Iran local conditions, will be ranked. At last due to ranked criteria, a framework on cyber-health will be presented.
