The European Health Data Space has the potential to transform research, improve care, and prevent illness.
But most organisations still lack the infrastructure, governance, and assurance to share health data securely at scale.
DIERKS+RISE closes this gap.
The EHDS Process, Simplified.
A clear, secure, and compliant pathway for those who hold, use, and govern health data.
DataPublication
Data holders prepare and publish EHDS-ready metadata, making datasets visible through a harmonised European catalogue.
Request Submission & Review
Researchers and organisations submit Article 68/69 applications. Access Bodies and Trusted Data Holders evaluate purpose, proportionality, and feasibility.
Approval & Secure Provisioning
Approved requests move into secure provisioning: either dataset delivery into an SDE or analysis performed by the data holder, with full governance and audit trails.
Controlled Data Use
Authorised users access or analyse data within a controlled, monitored environment. Sensitive health data remains protected at all times.
Compliance & Monitoring
Outputs are validated and logged. Authorities and institutions maintain full oversight, ensuring compliance, transparency, and public trust.
