The eHealthLab of the University of Cyprus has earned the Silver xShare Industry Label – – the highest certification level awarded at this stage, at the 2025 IHE-Europe Plugathon for its innovative mobile solution, MyHealthApp@CY – a user-centered digital health app designed to empower patients across their healthcare journey.
MyHealthApp@CY offers secure access to medical records, health data sharing capabilities, and digital features like teleconsultations and smart interventions. By integrating the xShare Yellow Button, the app simplifies how users share sensitive health data across systems, using Smart Health Links (SHLs) with intuitive, one-time share and download options.
At the Plugathon, the eHealthLab team successfully tested MyHealthApp@CY as both a Consumer and Creator of SHLs, verifying the app’s ability to share and retrieve IPS content via secure digital links. The app passed all test scenarios for mobile and web platforms (with two pending final verification following submitted updates). This collaborative testing phase provided new insights into system interoperability and strengthened technical readiness.
Looking ahead, the team is working on new features – including selective data sharing and linked options – set to roll out by October 2025. These enhancements are based on feedback from Plugathon testing and align with the lab’s ongoing commitment to improving user control and data security in digital health applications.
