The PCHAlliance activities in Europe are driven by the European Work Group (EUWG).

Objectives

The EUWG’s objectives in Europe are to:

• Support Continua adoption among European health systems
• Engage with European Commission for an enabling environment for personal connected health
• Defend proportional regulatory environment for personal connected health

The EUWG reviews the objectives periodically and defines specific actions.

Resources

We would like to call attention to the following resources on the PCHAlliance website that are of special relevance to the work in Europe:

•  Continua Design Guidelines (CDGs):  The only open implementation framework for authentic, end-to-end interoperability of personal connected health devices and systems.  Download for free.
•  Certified product showcase:  A searchable database of products whose compliance with the CDGs has been certified by an independent test lab.
•  Continua adoption: An overview of the countries that have been working with the Continua Guidelines to advance open standards and interoperability in their health systems, building on the Adoption Playbook (published May 2017).

This list is periodically reviewed and updated.
