Patient login for telemedicine and digital health

The wallet is one high-assurance mechanism recognised across every member state. A single integration replaces the per-country stack and authenticates a patient from anywhere in the EU at the same level. Selective disclosure also means you can authenticate somebody without collecting attributes you have no clinical reason to hold.

The problem

What teams do today

Health services need strong authentication, and today that means a different national scheme per market. A bank-ID provider here, a national eID there, a smart card somewhere else. Each one is a bespoke integration with its own contract and its own outage pattern, and entering a new country means doing it again.

01
One integration instead of one per member state
02
Patients from other countries authenticate without a workaround
03
Request only what is clinically necessary, which is the GDPR position anyway
How it works

Three steps with Authbound

  1. Step 01

    Add wallet login

    Put it beside your existing national schemes and route holders through it.

  2. Step 02

    Authenticate on signed attributes

    The patient approves in their wallet and you receive verified attributes bound to their device.

  3. Step 03

    Bind the session

    Your session carries the verified subject, so record access rests on a high assurance identity.

Live demo

We built Tervion Etäklinikka, a company that does not exist, to show this running inside a finished product. The wallet flow in it is the real SDK.

Questions

What people ask

Is this strong enough for health records?
eIDAS 2.0 places wallet authentication at the high assurance level, which is the tier national health services already require for record access. Device binding and holder consent are part of the protocol rather than bolted on afterwards.
Can we keep our national eID login?
Yes, and you should during the transition. Run wallet login as an extra option and move traffic across as coverage grows in each market.
What about health-specific identifiers?
Sector credentials such as a national insurance or health card number can be requested alongside identity attributes where the issuer supports them, so the login can carry the entitlement your clinical system needs.
