Labelling of wellness applications

Article 47

1.   Where a manufacturer of a wellness application claims interoperability with an EHR system in relation to the harmonised software components of EHR systems and therefore compliance with the common specifications referred to in Article 36 and essential requirements laid down in Annex II, such wellness application shall be accompanied by a label, clearly indicating its compliance with those specifications and requirements. That label shall be issued by the manufacturer of the wellness application. 2.   The label referred to in paragraph 1 shall indicate the following information: (a) the categories of electronic health data for which compliance with essential requirements laid down in Annex II has been confirmed; (b) a reference to common specifications to demonstrate compliance; (c) the validity period of the label. 3.   The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, determine the format and content of the label referred to in paragraph 1. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 98(2). 4.   The label shall be drawn-up in one or more official languages of the Union or in an easily understandable language determined by the Member State in which the wellness application is placed on the market or put into service. 5.   The validity of the label shall not exceed three years. 6.   If the wellness application is an integral part of a device or is embedded in a device after it has been put into service, the accompanying label shall be shown in the application itself or placed on that device. Where the wellness application consists only of software, the label shall have a digital format and shall be shown in the application itself. Two-dimensional (2D) barcodes may also be used to display the label. 7.   The market surveillance authorities shall check the compliance of wellness applications with the essential requirements laid down in Annex II. 8.   Each supplier of a wellness application for which a label has been issued shall ensure that the wellness application that is placed on the market or put into service is accompanied by the label for each individual unit, free of charge. 9.   Each distributor of a wellness application for which a label has been issued shall make the label available to customers at the point of sale in electronic form.

Interoperability of wellness applications with EHR systems

Article 48

1.   Manufacturers of wellness applications may claim interoperability with an EHR system, provided that the relevant common specifications and essential requirements referred to in Article 36 and Annex II, respectively, are met. In the event of such claim, those manufacturers shall duly inform users of the interoperability of such wellness applications and the effects of such interoperability. 2.   The interoperability of wellness applications with EHR systems shall not entail the automatic sharing of all or part of the health data from the wellness application with, or automatic transmission of all or part of such data to, the EHR system. The sharing or transmission of such data shall only be possible if it is in accordance with Article 5 and after consent is given by the natural person concerned and interoperability shall be limited exclusively to those purposes. The manufacturers of wellness applications claiming interoperability with an EHR system shall ensure that the natural person concerned is able to choose which categories of health data from the wellness application are to be inserted in the EHR system and the circumstances for the sharing or transmission of those categories of data.
