Kereval, partner in the myHealth@myHands project, for borderless access to healthcare data in Europe
Kereval has been chosen along with 44 partners by the European Commission to create the infrastructure that will enable Europeans to have direct access to their healthcare data when traveling within the European Union (EU). The project, called myHealth@myHands, aims to provide patients with direct access to their electronic medical records, which will be integrated into the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) to improve continuity of care.
By leveraging the MyHealth@EU infrastructure, the project will improve cross-border interoperability and ensure that citizens can securely retrieve, manage and share their electronic medical data anytime, anywhere. This initiative directly supports the EU’s Digital Decade policy agenda, which envisages universal access to electronic medical records by 2030.
Kereval will contribute its expertise in interoperability and cybersecurity to the consortium’s efforts to set up an interoperability testing laboratory, in compliance with European EHDS (European Health Data Space) regulations.
A key feature of myHealth@myHands is its focus on identification, authentication and seamless integration with national healthcare systems, ensuring compliance with European EHDS regulations while prioritizing user control and privacy.
Healthcare providers will be able to access essential patient information, improving care coordination and patient outcomes.
The MyHealth@MyHands project is structured to ensure a large-scale design involving patient representatives, healthcare professionals, industry and academia. It will be tested and deployed in 12 EU member states, serving as a real-world validation for the integration of EUDI portfolios into national healthcare systems. Adoption sites will assess data portability, ease of use and technical feasibility.
myHealth@myHands aims to transform digital health by providing secure, user-friendly access to health data, ensuring that all EU citizens can benefit from a connected and efficient healthcare ecosystem.
