Citizens (Patients)
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is enabling new ways for individuals to access and use their health data through digital tools such as mobile health solutions. These approaches help address fragmentation and improve accessibility, especially in cross-border contexts.
By supporting standardized data formats and seamless sharing, EHDS enhances communication between patients and healthcare professionals, contributing to more connected, efficient, and patient-centered care across Europe.
