European Health Data Space (EHDS)

What is EHDS?

The European Health Data Space Regulation (EHDS) establishes a common framework for the use and exchange of electronic health data across the EU. It enhances individuals’ access to and control over their personal electronic health data. At the same time, it enables certain data to be reused for public interest, policy support, and scientific research purposes. 

Transition towards the EHDS began in March 2025 but the rules on secondary use of data will come into effect in March 2029.

How EHDS Affects You

Across the EU, health data is locked in national silos, trapped behind a patchwork of legal, technical, and governance barriers. Each Member State has its own rules for accessing and using electronic health records (EHRs), and the systems that store this data often can’t talk to each other.

Why it matters

This fragmentation makes it difficult to share data securely across borders, slows down research and innovation, and limits the potential of digital health. EHDS is designed to change that, but it also introduces new responsibilities.

Organisations must now prepare to:

business_medium_risk 1

Align with the unified EU-wide framework.

Implement secure, privacy-first data sharing practices.

Navigate new roles and responsibilities under EHDS.

With the rules on the secondary use of data coming into force in March 2029, and a one-to-two-year lead time needed to prepare, the time to act is now.

What’s the solution? A privacy-first approach to secondary data use.

EHDS builds on GDPR and other EU data frameworks.
It requires that health data be transformed safely and processed in secure environments for uses beyond its original intended purpose such as research, innovation, and policy making.  To succeed under EHDS, organisations must:
