For health apps processing this kind of data, user consent will often be the only possibility to legitimise the processing. The current proposal for the Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) defines and addresses providers of apps that collect health data without offering health services in the stricter sense as “wellness applications”. Do you need support with your health app or have general questions about health tech, data privacy and artificial intelligence?
