The idea of eHC was conceived by Hrvoje Iveković, M.D., a young medical doctor experienced as general practitioner in re-integrated Tovarnik. The proposal for this project was made during his postgraduate study in public health. At the end of this course each student is obliged to design and propose a project that might be implemented with resonable efforts.

The very first version of eHC was launched in the fall 2000 and hosted at the Andrija Štampar School of Public Health server at http://www.snz.hr/eDZ

The project was supported by one-year grant from Croatian Ministry of Science and Technology within the framework Information Technology Implementation.
