The technology provider RISE has won the Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) tender for the provision of the GesundheitsID. In addition to providing and operating the sector-specific identity provider (Sektoraler IDP) for the GesundheitsID, RISE will also provide the desktop version of the ePA FdV for use with the electronic patient record (ePA).

The sector-specific IDP enables insured individuals to securely authenticate themselves with digital health applications using their digital identity. It verifies users’ identities and provides the necessary identity information. Connected applications can use this information to verify access permissions. In this way, the IDP establishes a key prerequisite for secure, digital access to applications and services within the telematics infrastructure (TI).

The ePA-FdV for the desktop, along with the mobile version, serves as the application interface to the electronic health record (ePA). It enables insured individuals to use their ePA digitally without a smartphone and to access the health information stored there.

“As the market leader in health IDs using sector-specific IDP, we are pleased to support Techniker Krankenkasse in further developing its digital access offerings. To this end, we are providing our proven ID solution, which is already in use by more than 90 health insurers,” says Dr. Christian Schanes, member of the management board at RISE.
