Citizens in control of their health data
Patients’ health data is personal and sensitive. Under the EHDS regulation, and relying on the European EHRxF, patient control is key. Patients should have control over who accesses their health records, ensuring privacy and supporting trust. New technologies such as the ‘EU Wallet’ (for multi-governmental electronic identification) can support patients in managing their personal data, including electronic health data, strengthening the autonomy of patients’ health data management.
