Consent

Overview

The Consent resource records a patient's consent for data sharing, medical device integration, or participation in a remote patient monitoring program. vitalera uses FHIR R5-aligned consent records to manage privacy preferences and comply with GDPR requirements, ensuring that health data from connected devices (blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, glucometers) is only processed with explicit patient authorization.
