Abstract
The article reviews work by PANACeA to identify partners from countries in Central, South, and South East Asia, to work together to identify eight projects to generate evidence for the adoption of technologically, economically and socio-culturally sound eHealth applications in multiple countries. PANACeA Common Thematic Activities (PCTAs) are being investigated in the Asian context, to support the eHealth initiatives. The PCTAs will not only impact the implementation of research projects, but also influence the development of eHealth in the participating countries. PANACeA offers a unique way of developing evidence in a local context to generate communities of practice within Asia.
