EHDS Compliance European Health Data Space

Navigate the new EU regulatory framework for health data exchange. Ensure interoperability, cybersecurity, and patient control over their clinical information.

What is EHDS?

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is a key regulation designed to empower EU citizens regarding their health data and foster a single market for digital health services.

Unlike HIPAA, which focuses on privacy in the U.S., EHDS sets strict rules on primary use (direct care) and secondary use (research and public policy) of medical data.

Organizations must implement technical interoperability standards and comply with Electronic Health Record (EHR) system certification requirements under a reinforced cybersecurity framework.

Regulation Pillars

Primary Use & Interoperability

Right to immediate access and portability of clinical data between member states.

Secondary Use (HealthData@EU)

Secure access to anonymized data for research, innovation, and public health.

Cybersecurity & Certification

Mandatory certification for EHR systems and connected medical devices.

Data Governance

Creation of national Health Data Access Bodies (HDAB).

Implementation Challenges

Transitioning to a federated health data ecosystem requires overcoming complex technical and legal barriers.

Technical Standardization

Adapting current systems to the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EEHRxF) to allow data to flow seamlessly between countries.

"Opt-out" Rights

Managing patient rights to object to secondary use of their data without affecting the quality of primary healthcare services.

MyHealth@EU Infrastructure

Integrating securely with national contact points and complying with the requirements of the European health network.
