The paper discusses the development of telemedicine, the original core and pillar of digital health, in Italy. After having preliminarily framed the topic, also tracing its evolution at European and Italian levels, the analysis devotes ample space to the provisions of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, for which e-Health and, in particular, telemedicine, represents one of the most important factors for the strengthening of the healthcare system. The reflections are twofold: the effects of remote care on the physician-patient relationship and the impact on service delivery and healthcare organization.
