Four areas around which the work is organised

The partnership with the NCA — chaired by Denys Tsvayg — both at the working-group level and in bilateral dialogue forms the foundation of all the Consortium's work on medical-data protection.

Participants recorded that healthcare cybersecurity is a matter not just of technical quality, but of national security and economic resilience. The working group under the NSDC continues substantive discussion of key topics and the delivery of effective projects.

The Consortium does not claim authorship of standards — it advocates for their adoption. Participants argue that Ukraine should join the countries with modern eHealth infrastructure precisely through compatibility with international norms, not through building parallel national solutions.

Key context: the WHO Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020–2025 (adopted by the 73rd World Health Assembly in 2020); Ukraine's membership of the Global Digital Health Partnership since 2018; the EU4Digital eHealth thematic area — all of these set the frame the Consortium urges domestic decisions to align with.

The roundtable of 15 July 2020 was the Consortium's inaugural session. The roadmap foresees a second roundtable in the Verkhovna Rada in Q1 2021 on "The Strategy for the Development of Digital Medicine in Ukraine."

The permanent working group under the NSDC continues substantive discussions with the sector's key players: the Ministry of Health, NSZU, the State Enterprise "Electronic Health," and the leading operators of medical information systems.

The technological foundation for this stream is Dr.Umka — the R&D project building an international protocol for the secure exchange and storage of medical data, designed from the ground up as the basis for AI in medicine. Security, provenance verification, abuse prevention — these are architectural principles from the first line of code, not features bolted on later. The Consortium's founding document closes with the line "Powered by Dr.Umka"; Anna Bon (Bondarenko) — CBDO of Dr.Umka — carries this technological thesis into the Consortium's work.

Preventive medicine is the main beneficiary of this work stream. Unifying a person's medical data across their entire life — heredity, physiology, behavioural patterns, diagnostic history — is what lets AI models predict, prevent, and recommend. Without that integration, preventive interventions remain isolated episodes rather than continuous care.

The roadmap foresees a database of medical case histories, a personalised financial-accounts system, and an independent data centre in 2021–2022. These provisions are the founding architecture of all subsequent work in this stream.

Our thesis: AI in medicine does not start with models. It starts with data — secured, unified, continuous. This is the position the eHealth Consortium defends.
