General description of the application HD4DP v1

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
