eHealth platform

What eHealth platform does

eHealth-platform (Plate-forme eHealth / eGezondheid / eSanté) is a Belgian federal public institution established under the Law of August 21, 2008 to serve as the national hub for electronic health data exchange between healthcare professionals, patients, healthcare institutions, and health insurance funds. It operates as a B2G digital infrastructure rather than a commercial enterprise, providing basic services (secure authentication, messaging, consent management, reference directories) that are freely and mandatorily integrated into healthcare software used across Belgium. The platform does not charge user fees and is funded through Belgian federal government budgets under an administration contract with the State.

The platform's product portfolio spans roughly 50 interconnected services. Core offerings include eHealthBox (secure electronic mailbox for providers), Recip-e (electronic prescriptions in the ambulatory sector), BelRAI (multidisciplinary assessment for vulnerable and complex-care patients), MyCareNet (insurance verification, electronic billing, and medico-administrative document exchange with the mutual health insurance funds), and eHealthConsent (patient-managed informed consent for data sharing). Patient-facing access is delivered through the Masante (MijnGezondheid) web and mobile portal; provider-facing access through the ProSanté portal (formerly MyInami/MyRiziv). Three regional first-line health vaults (Vitalink in Flanders, Intermed in Wallonia, Brusafe in Brussels) store clinical data, while the platform provides the exchange and authentication layer connecting them. Specialized applications cover cancer registration, vaccination tracking (Vaccinnet), mental health, telemedicine, hospital data collection, eBirth, the Belgian Virtual Tumorbank, implant traceability, and COVID-19 workflows.

Current strategic direction is set by the eHealth Action Plan 2026-2029, which advances the Belgian Integrated Health Record (BIHR) framework, the Health Data Authority (HDA) for secondary data use, and preparation for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) regulation that entered into force on March 26, 2025. Revenue mechanics are non-commercial; the entity has 11-50 staff, is owned by the Belgian Federal Government, and is not listed, venture-backed, or subject to typical PE/VC/M&A dynamics. Strategic value is captured through policy mandates, ecosystem lock-in across all Belgian healthcare software, and forthcoming EU-wide health data interoperability obligations.
