[目的/意义]电子健康会议（eHealth）在国际健康信息学领域有着重要的影响，通过对本次会议相关研讨主题的总结，以期为国内健康信息学的研究带来启示。[方法/过程]在葡萄牙丰沙尔举行的eHealth 2016会议，共收录研究长论文（full paper）20篇，此外，还收录了部分短论文、思考论文和海报等。通过综述这些论文的主要研究内容、研究方法和结果，展示欧洲主导的健康信息学研究的现状、新兴领域和发展趋势。[结果/结论]第八届国际电子健康会议作为健康信息学领域重要的学术会议，所涉及的主题涵盖了当前健康信息学理论研究与应用实践的最新成果，能够代表国际上此方面学术研究和技术发展的前沿。随着电子健康（eHealth）和移动健康（mHealth）的发展，"赋权消费者"已成为此领域研究的趋势。
[Purpose/significance] The electronic health conference (eHealth) is an integral part of the Multi Conference on Computer Science conference and Information Systems (MCCSIS), held by the International Association for the Development of the Information Society (IADIS). It has important influence in the field of international health informatics.[Method/process] At the eHealth 2016 Conference held in Funchal, Portugal, scholars reported more than 20 full papers. This conference also included short papers, reflection papers and posters. The main research contents of this paper through the review of these papers, research methods and results, and the development trend of the emerging field of research, showed the current situation of the leading European health informatics research.[Result/conclusion] By further summarizing the characteristics of this discipline, it will bring inspiration for the study of health informatics in China.
