Case Study: gematik GmbH secures Germany’s electronic health record system with Edgeless Systems confidential computing

Gematik GmbH secures ePA for up to 50 million insured individuals with Edgeless Systems

The customer, Gematik GmbH, faced the challenge of operating Germany's electronic health record (ePA) under strict data protection laws, including a "technical operator exclusion" mandating that infrastructure operators have no access to patient health data. This system needed to securely serve millions of users. Edgeless Systems provided its confidential computing software to address this challenge.

Edgeless Systems implemented a solution using confidential computing software to run sensitive applications inside hardware-protected environments, ensuring even the infrastructure operator could not access the data. The certified solution enables a secure and scalable backend for up to 50 million insured individuals, reliably meeting regulatory requirements and technical operator exclusion.
