Abstract

This paper presents MYeHealthAppCY, an mHealth solution designed to provide patients and healthcare providers in Cyprus with access to medical data. The application includes features such as an at-a-glance view of patient summary, comprehensive prescription management, teleconsultation, and the ability to store and access European Digital COVID Certificates (EUDCC). The application is an integral part of the eHealth4U platform targeting to implement a prototype EHR platform for national use. The application developed is based on FHIR and follows a strict adherence to widely used coding standards. The application was evaluated receiving satisfactory scores; however, significant work is still needed to deploy the application in production.
