As artificial intelligence reshapes healthcare, clear and practical guidance on the use of health data is ever more crucial. While the new regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) provides for a transition period of four to six years for most provisions, now it is the time for all parties – from the providers of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems to those interested in the secondary use of health data – to prepare for fully capitalising the opportunities of the data space.
Building on the success of the AI Act e-tool and the Data Act e-tool, our Finnish-Danish joint action released the Entries EHDS Regulation e-tool. This new tool helps EHR system manufacturers, wellness app developers, medical device and IVD companies as well as high-risk AI system providers understand quickly what it takes to comply and benefit from the EHDS requirements. Likewise, the tool also supports health data holders and users aiming to deliver data-driven healthcare for the European citizens.
Like its predecessors, the EHDS e-tool is available free of charge to all SMEs and public organisations in the EU and Ukraine through the network of the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) until the end of March 2026.
We also collect feedback on all three Entries e-tools. This questionnaire runs in parallel to capture every users’ opinion and remarks on the e-tools. The sooner we have your feedback, the better we’re able to align with ongoing international and AI related initiatives for your advantage.
