RISE receives gematik approval for the file system and the insured person front end of the electronic patient file (ePA) for the launch of the "ePA for all". With this formal proof, RISE is the first ePA manufacturer to meet all the necessary technical and regulatory components to launch the ePA in the TI model regions on January 15, 2025.

"We are proud to be the first ePA manufacturer to receive gematik approval and are grateful to our partner and customer BITMARCK for the trust they have placed in us over many years. With the approval of the ePA file system and the front end of the insured person, RISE demonstrates technological leadership in the field of digital sovereignty and mobile digital high security and ensures the successful launch of the major central IT project ePA in good time," explains Dr. Christian Schanes, member of the RISE management board. "From January 15, the ePA can be used in the TI model regions. Our customers in the statutory and private health insurance companies will thus receive further proof that their policyholders are reliably supplied with technology from our company. With this engineering service, our teams are helping to write a piece of digital industry history. The "ePA for all" is a strategic, European flagship project for digital self-determination and independence, the security-related usability of which extends into many other specialist sectors beyond healthcare."
