Carl Andersen, a 45-year-old senior researcher in bioinformatics and board member of DK DNA, takes his health seriously. Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2022, Carl leverages his professional knowledge – and digital health tools – to stay on top of his condition.

Through Denmark’s integrated health infrastructure and the xShare Yellow Button, Carl accesses his personalized diabetes care plan, updated twice a year and managed by his family doctor. The plan is securely available to all authorized healthcare providers involved in his care, ensuring continuity and coordination without the need to repeat or re-explain his medical history.

Carl’s lab results and treatment data are automatically reported to national quality databases, contributing to public health research. He prefers video consultations, uses Sundhed.dk and MinLæge, and trusts his ability to monitor who accesses his care records.

For Carl, digital health isn’t about novelty – it’s about precision, trust, and proactive care. With the xShare Yellow Button, Danish citizens like Carl are showing how data sharing done right can enhance everyday care and advance national health systems.
