There is a strong drive for implementing technology in public health care to cope with the growing number of elderly. This paper studies the challenges in scaling up telemedical services and reports from the case of a large telemedical project, with cooperation between municipalities and hospitals, in Agder, Norway. The study applies dialectics as an analytical lens to make sense of the findings and discusses these dialectics and how the challenges may be solved.
Scaling, telemedicine, sustainability, dialectics.
