The European Union has made digitalisation in healthcare a top priority. It recently launched a European Health Data Space that aims to facilitate access to patient health information across the entire continent.
This digital tool promises more efficient care and better diagnostic capacity. It should also boost scientific research, enabling European companies to create more tailored medicine, health devices and services.
