- eHealth and online interventions are a huge topic in health care world wide
- All countries have their legal framework for health care, but for eHealth the legal frameworks can be very different on information, counselling and therapy
- The WHO publications offer insight in legal frameworks all over the world
- The European eHealth Action Plan supports online interventions
- According to the Plan bringing down legal barriers is vital for deploying eHealth in Europe
- Some European countries are more advanced in their legal frameworks than others
- Some European countries strongly support eHealth activities by their legal frameworks and others refrain from it
The European eHealth Action Plan identifies the legal barriers: 
- lack of legal clarity for health and wellbeing,
- lack of legal clarity for mobile applications
- lack of transparency regarding the utilization of data collected by such applications;
- inadequate or fragmented legal frameworks
- lack of reimbursement schemes for eHealth services;
