The HD4DP application enables data providers to collect data. 

The medical and professional secret is protected at various levels and through principles such as encoding, encryption, and user-acces management. The combination of these elements guarantees so-called "end-to-end security". 

During the data collection process, which is done by this application, all data is securely (= anonymized) transferred to Sciensano, with the use of e-health box:

• The data provider never receives the coded identifiers

• eHealth has never access to medical data or metadata

• Healthdata.be never receives the original identifier, but can reconcile different entries

An overview is given in the video:


We provide documentation of the different functions and possibilities in the different phases of data collection in the HD4DP application.
