Verify a patient's Health ID to access and dispense electronic prescriptions.

Electronic prescriptions are exchanged via MyHealth@EU. A patient presenting their EUDI Wallet at a pharmacy shares a Health ID attestation, allowing the pharmacist to retrieve and dispense the correct medication across borders.

Where verification is needed

  • Community pharmacies: verifying patient Health ID before accessing prescriptions
  • Hospital pharmacies: confirming patient identity before dispensing medication
  • Cross-border dispensation: accepting prescriptions from other EU Member States via MyHealth@EU
  • Mail-order and online pharmacies: verifying identity before dispatching prescription medication
  • Clinical trials: confirming participant identity and eligibility

What Vidos does

  • Confirms issuer authenticity against trusted lists and MyHealth@EU identity framework
  • Supports proximity presentation (QR/NFC at the pharmacy counter)
  • Returns verified patient identity attributes for prescription retrieval

Benefits for your organisation
