The HealthData@EU Pilot has reached a major milestone: all project deliverables are now available. Over the past two years, our consortium of 17 partners has worked to develop a pilot version of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) infrastructure for the secondary use of health data.
These deliverables provide essential insights and recommendations on key aspects of the pilot infrastructure, including:
✅ IT architecture
📂 Metadata standards
⚖️ Legal compliance
🔗 Data interoperability
📊 Quality assurance
By making these resources publicly available, the project aims to support the ongoing development of the EHDS, facilitating secure, standardized, and efficient cross-border health data access for research, innovation, policymaking, and regulatory purposes.
