Andaman7 brings mobile-first, patient-driven health data access to myHealth@myHands

As part of the myHealth@myHands project, Andaman7 is contributing its mobile health expertise to help citizens across Europe securely access, store, and share their medical data — including imaging reports, prescriptions, and health records — directly from their smartphone. 

Andaman7 is focusing on the patient interface and real-world use cases such as patients traveling abroad, Erasmus+ students, chronic care patients, and other data sharing scenarios. The goal: empower patients to take control of their health data while complying with GDPR, the European Health Data Space (EHDS), and ensuring interoperability with MyHealth@EU and the EUDI Wallet. 

Patient-first design for better cross-border healthcare 

Andaman7 allows patients to collect health data from multiple sources — hospitals, labs, GPs. This data is then stored locally on the patient’s device, under full user control. This approach ensures privacy by design and enables offline access anytime, anywhere. 

In one real-life use case, a patient can retrieve their medical imaging report after an exam and share it while traveling abroad. The report can be shown to a new doctor without needing to transfer large files or access hospital portals. 

Smart, secure sharing for clinical research (secondary use of data) 

Patients can also contribute their health data to clinical studies through the app. For example, a patient can download inclusion and exclusion criteria for multiple clinical trials (in EHDS format), and Andaman7 evaluates eligibility locally, alerting the user if a match is found — all without sending data to external systems. 

This model enhances not only clinical research (patient recruitment, data collection…), but also trust, security, and user empowerment. It shows how digital identity (via EUDI Wallet) and mobile health apps can work hand-in-hand. 

Patients own their data. Andaman7 makes sure they can carry, control, and share it — securely. 

“This project puts health data back where it belongs — in the hands of the people.” 
(Andrea Venegas, Project Manager at Andaman7) 

Andaman7’s contribution to myHealth@myHands reinforces the importance of patient-centric design in the future of digital health. Through secure data exchange, consent-based sharing, and strong alignment with EU interoperability frameworks, the project shows how technology can bridge healthcare systems and citizens across Europe.
