This paper will deal with the patient related aspects of e-Health. The use of computing and networking has become an essential element in recent and future developments in health and care. Devices that lead to self-management, access to electronic records, decision support, social networks and social media are some of the major aspects.The production and availability of data and information will lead to a paradigm shift in the physician-patient relationship based on the addition of their respective experiences. To make this into a relationship of trust requires insight into the needs of both patients and caregivers.How do caregivers deal with possible knowledgeable patients; how can they assist to increase the patient's knowledge; how will they (have to) react to patient record access. On the other hand, what will be the responsibility of the knowledgeable patient; what are his rights to be informed.
