The myHealth@CY mobile application, launched on Tuesday, is a project of strategic importance, Health Minister Michael Damianos said.<\/p>\n
He added that the new app will provide the public with immediate and secure access to their personal medical data.<\/p>\n
The app forms part of the government\u2019s wider digital transformation strategy, Deputy Innovation Minister Nicodemos Damianou said.<\/p>\n
He admitted that although Cyprus has made progress in digital health access, with a 10 per cent increase in 2025, the country remains below the EU average, making the app essential for closing this gap.<\/p>\n
Damianos in turn stressed it will enhance transparency and significantly improve the quality of care provided.<\/p>\n
He added that in its first phase, myHealth@CY will integrate cross-border EU health services, allowing access to a patient\u2019s medical summary and e-prescriptions by summer 2026.<\/p>\n
A second phase will connect the app with the national health system (Gesy), eventually expanding to create a complete electronic health record.<\/p>\n
Damianos emphasised the crucial cooperation between the national electronic health authority, the health insurance organisation (HIO) and Cyta, describing their joint effort as instrumental to the project\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n
Damianou said the initiative builds on Gesy\u2019s success and aligns with the state\u2019s push to responsibly integrate artificial intelligence into public services.<\/p>\n
He said AI tools will soon be used to support patient care as well as enhance the digital AI Assistant, which will begin offering health-related guidance.<\/p>\n
The health minister reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that boost the quality, safety and modernisation of health services through technology.<\/p>\n
He expressed hope that the signing would mark the beginning of further innovations, helping position Cyprus at the forefront of digital health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The myHealth@CY mobile application, launched on Tuesday, is a project of strategic importance, Health Minister Michael Damianos said.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160250,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-160249","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
