Expanding Digital Health through a pan-European EEHRxF-based Ecosystem (XpanDH)
01/01/2023-31/12/2024
About the project:
XpanDH is a two-year Horizon Europe project focused on unlocking the full potential of European health data and supporting the widespread adoption of digital health solutions. It aims to empower people and organisations to create, deploy and explore the use of digital health solutions.
To achieve this, it promotes the adoption of the European Electronic Health Record Format (EEHRxF), which allows different digital health tools to communicate with each other.
Furthermore, it will test the feasibility of EEHRxF through pilot implementers (pilot partners) via reference cases (X-Bubbles).
Expected outcomes:
- Improved cross-border digital health solutions in the EU by developing technical resources and promoting the use of standardized technical specifications for specific use cases.
- Better access, control and portability of your health data through digital services based on EEHRxF specifications.
- Informed policy makers and the eHealth Network about the EEHRxF and how it can be extended to other use cases.
- Provide diverse populations with training materials, specialized tools, guidelines, mentorship programs, and collaboration initiatives.
