DataCare Manifest

In today's world, where technology and medicine go hand in hand, protecting medical data is more important than ever. As a leading company in the HealthTech sector, we understand the sensitivity of the information entrusted to us. Our data manifesto is a promise to our customers and stakeholders that shows how seriously we take handling medical data.

Compliance as a top priority

We set the standard for compliance and security by following strict guidelines that go beyond legal requirements. Our processes are designed to integrate data protection, data minimization and security right from the start — Privacy by Design and Security by Design are not just buzzwords, but the cornerstones of our daily work.

The doctor as a data controller

According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we regard the doctor as the data controller. Our role is to act as a responsible partner who carries out data processing strictly in accordance with the instructions and on behalf of the doctor. Each step of data processing is precisely documented in the order processing agreement (AVV) to ensure transparency and accountability.

Innovation and support through data

We firmly believe that healthcare professionals and innovations need data to improve processes, prevent errors, and ultimately optimize patient care. Our task is to reconcile these requirements by using data processing methods that are as data-efficient as possible. One approach we call private analytics includes techniques such as pseudonymization to maximize privacy while providing valuable insights.

Comprehensive patient information

Transparency is the key to trust. That is why we provide patients with comprehensive information about the use of their data, the security measures we have implemented, and their rights under the GDPR. Our goal is to ensure that patients feel comfortable and informed.

The role of data standards

At Eterno, we are committed to compliance with medical data standards and interoperability. By integrating standards such as FHIR, HL7 and DICOM into our solutions, we enable a smooth workflow in practices. This gives doctors and medical staff more time for what's important — patient care.

Working together for a functioning healthcare system

We are convinced that all players in healthcare have the same goal: an efficient, effective and patient-centered healthcare system in which everyone has access to high-quality care. By using data responsibly, promoting transparency, and supporting innovation, we work every day to achieve this goal.
