How the xShare Yellow Button is used
The Yellow Button demonstrator is built on the Trifork Health Platform (THP) — a modular, FHIR-native healthcare platform with patient-access capabilities, master
data management, and interoperability tooling, already operated for healthcare customers.
The demonstrator addresses the patient data-portability use case directly. A patient (a natural person, authenticated in conformance with the relevant IG requirements):
• Accesses their health information immediately through a THP patient portal, with no provider-mediated request step.
• Downloads it in a standardised EEHRxF / HL7 FHIR format — a conformant Patient Summary, ePrescription, or eDispensation document, produced natively by the platform.
• Shares it with another provider using a secure mechanism — the patient mints a one-time Smart Health Link (SHL). Our implementation produces the shlink: payload, the SHL manifest, and an embedded SMART Health Card, aligned with the HL7 SMART Health Cards & Links specification.
• Controls who receives the data and when — the Smart Health Link is singleuse and time-bound; the patient decides what document is shared, with whom, and the link expires after retrieval.
• Reuses the data for personal health management — the downloaded document is a standards-based artifact the patient can retain and present to any conforming system, breaking down the silos that today lock health data inside individual provider systems.
Every shared or downloaded document is validated against the EEHRxF profiles, so what the patient receives and shares is conformant by construction, not just well-formed
