Abstract

The recent widespread of innovative ICT eHealth services platform at the international and transnational levels confirms their market booster position in structuring the emerging eHealth sector. Indeed, such platforms can provide different types of both medical and social services packaged in a "bouquet". The integration of ICT platforms in the medico-social sector brings interesting opportunities in terms of economic and social benefits (medical cost reduction, better health care, enhanced coordination and data sharing amongst stakeholders etc.), but also risks, causing economic, human and ethical barriers. While many studies have identified key success factors for these projects, this paper proposes to move forward and study what are the possible sustainable business models for Innovative ICT Platform of eHealth Services. In the light of digital economy and through microeconomics theory, this paper offers potential solutions to deal with various types of contracts and pricing models, related to revenue structure models. However, the potential models discussed may be difficult to transpose to the ICT eHealth sector since its specific nature (confidence, ethics) needs to be taken into account.
