(20) In order to facilitate the exercise of the complementary access and portability rights established under this Regulation, Member States should establish one or more electronic health data access services. Those services could be provided at national, regional or local level, or by healthcare providers, in the form of an online patient portal, an application for mobile devices or by other means. They should be designed in an accessible way, in particular for persons with disabilities. Providing such a service to enable natural persons to have easy access to their personal electronic health data is a substantial public interest. The processing of personal electronic health data through those services is necessary for the performance of that task assigned by this Regulation in the sense of Article 6(1), point (e), and Article 9(2), point (g), of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This Regulation lays down the necessary conditions and safeguards for the processing of electronic health data in electronic health data access services, such as electronic identification of natural persons accessing such services.
