The Masanté mobile application is officially launched! | FPS Public Health
Translated from Dutch since no English article is available as of writing:
The National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (NIHDI) launched the new mobile application ‘MyHealth’ on Monday. With this app, citizens can consult various health data. The application contains the functionalities of the existing application ‘My Medicines’, but also new ones.
The new app has the same name as the website. According to the NIHDI, it is "a centralized and secure place" where everyone can find information about his or her health: an overview of the medicines taken, prescribed and dispensed, vaccinations, the most important information about their health and other functionalities. The new digital tool is intended to facilitate access to health data.
"Digitization of healthcare is a strategic priority for the NIHDI," explains Pedro Facon, General Administrator of the NIHDI. "In recent years, citizens have experienced that more and more digitization is taking place. We are taking an important step with the new app: data that could be found via a website or in other apps until now is now brought together in one user-friendly mobile app."
The digital sharing of health data with and between healthcare providers continues to develop. "It makes it possible to improve the follow-up, quality and safety of care: by taking into account the medications that patients are taking or their medical history, for example in the event of an emergency admission, in order to avoid contraindications," Facon emphasizes.
According to Facon, it is important that all patients have access to their own health data. "This allows them to communicate with their healthcare providers and to make informed decisions about their health. This was already possible via the web portal ‘Mijngezondheid’. Now the mobile application further simplifies that access with health data at your fingertips on the smartphone," said the head of the National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance.

They did minimal effort with the implementation of the eHealth hubs, MyNexuzhealth and Cozo are superior. They even had the benefit of being able to copy their work but still managed to fall short. I don’t know where it went wrong.
Cutting corners left and right as usual. If the industry did this it would be blood in the water.
Didn’t we already have a MaSanté thing? Was it Wallonia only?
We really need to come up with better names than “My” everything lol
One more app will do it.
The government: “Why are so many of our citizens getting caught up in phishing?” Also the government: “Please install this nineteenth app of ours”
When are they going to stop with all these confusing apps
