The Digital Doctor Assistant, the first artificial intelligence application in Greece’s health sector, is now available to doctors as part of the National Electronic Health Record (EHR), authorities said.
The initiative has been implemented through cooperation between the Health and Digital Governance Ministries under the EDIKA agency. The tool allows healthcare professionals to access patient data, reduce bureaucracy, coordinate care and support medical decision-making.
Through the MyHealthDoc system, doctors can retrieve patient information, display personalized results and request answers in natural language, such as which medications were administered in the past three months or a patient’s summary medical history. The system also supports verbal interaction and offers suggested questions.
Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said the feature “signals a new era for the National Health System,” providing doctors “immediate access to patient history, reducing waiting times and supporting diagnosis and treatment.” He added that a Citizen Digital Assistant for Health will be introduced in about a month, allowing citizens secure access to their health data and services.
Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou said the initiative aims to “effectively support doctors, reduce bureaucracy and enhance the quality of care provided,” calling it “another important step in the overall digital reform of [the] health [sector].”
