European Health Data Space

The 3 key takeaways:

• If you’re developing software to manage electronic health records (prescriptions, dispensations, medical imaging reports, examination/lab/diagnostic results…) you’ll need to ensure interoperability with the European data exchange format, obtain a CE marking and allow patients to exercise rights, including an opt-out; 

 

• If you are developing a wellbeing app that collects data that could be used for medical purposes by a third party, you need to add a label to certify that the data is compatible with European standards;

 

• If you are used to requesting access to data from hospitals, medical institutions, universities, etc. to develop your technology/product, will be able to do so via a new procedure and fee system managed by the Data Access Body (similar to the Health Data Hub); if you are used to making your health databases available to third parties under a compensation/partnership system, you will have to declare your databases and collaborate with the Body in the event of data access requests from researchers, for example.
