Within the last five years, big strides have been made in Europe to write a future-proof rulebook on data and digital. In the shadow of headline-grabbing regulations such as the Digital Markets Act and the AI Act, the eIDAS regulation was revised to establish a European Digital Identity Wallet. Defiing a clear legal and technical framework will help create trust and credibility for the development and application of new use cases within healthcare, of which the patient will only stand to benefit.
