The following article presents a telemedicine system that has been introduced in southern Jutland, Denmark. Using 'low-tech' equipment, such as camera-equipped mobile phones and normal desktop computers with an internet connection, health professionals have been able to communicate and collect data in a clinical database more effectively. This system aims to improve interdisciplinary collaboration, through facilitating the interaction between health professionals and also other parties that are involved in the provision of care, such as administrative staff and local reimbursement authorities.
