Abstract

Gaia-X, a European initiative, aims to create a digital sovereignty framework for service ecosystems in the future Internet. Its applicability to the health domain was explored in the Gaia-X-Med project, which aimed to establish a common dataspace for various medical use cases based on Gaia-X principles. This paper presents a trust- and consent-based approach to the secure authentication and digital contract negotiation central to this endeavor and discusses the challenges that arose during the adoption of the Gaia-X framework, particularly relating to the strict requirements of the European healthcare domain with regards to privacy and consent regulations. By exploring the practical implications of Gaia-X in the healthcare context, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discussions surrounding the digital sovereignty of both citizens and corporations, as well as its realization via future Internet technologies.
