Heartbeat Medical: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Heartbeat Medical runs a digital platform for collecting and analysing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which record quality of life and treatment effects. Its users include hospitals and clinicians, payers, medical device makers, pharmaceutical companies and medical registries. The platform connects to hospital systems and electronic health records; its website mentions hosting options without specifying the delivery model.

The operating company is HRTBT Medical Solutions GmbH, based in Berlin, Germany. The website does not name shareholders or a parent company, and it does not state where data is hosted. The vendor describes its registry offering as using GDPR-compliant outcome collection infrastructure, but the website does not publish a data processing agreement. For a European organisation this is a German supplier under EU data protection law, and the hosting location should be confirmed in the contract. The product is not documented as open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Heartbeat Medical

Heartbeat Medical is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Heartbeat Medical scores best on data residency.

Heartbeat Medical is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Heartbeat Medical together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
