Therefore, we collect, store, and process all your personal data that arises from the use of the LEIA platform in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how and for what purposes we collect and use your information.

3.2. What data is collected and why:

  • Personal data (name, identification code) is necessary for the medical center to identify you and reconcile them with your other health data.

  • Contact information (email, telephone) is necessary so that the medical center can contact you if necessary.

     

  • Information entered by you about the illness or health problem (symptoms, their details, information added by the healthcare professional), which will be used to provide a systematic overview to the medical center. This information is kept because it is important for your doctor to know all your previous health problems during the treatment process.

The data listed above will be kept until you request that your data be deleted from our system. To delete the data, please send a corresponding digitally signed request to info@healthcodeai.com.

NB! Once deleted, data cannot be recovered.

Other requests (prescription updates, vaccination requests, certificate requests, etc.) will not be saved.

3.3. You have the right to know what data about you is stored in the system. HealthCode is developing a system to view your data in real time, but in the meantime, you must send us a digitally signed request to info@healthcodeai.com if you wish

3.4. How HealthCode uses your data

In addition to seeing your health information in a personalized form (i.e. with your name and social security number), the LEIA platform also stores your health information in an anonymized form – i.e. without your name, personal identification number or other identifying information. Non-identifying features such as gender and age may remain in the data.

HealthCode may use anonymized data for various purposes, for the teaching of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence learns from anonymous data what symptoms people often have together. In this way, artificial intelligence will be able to better anticipate what the disease may be in the future and thus ask patients the most relevant questions.

3.5 You hereby grant us the right to use your data, which we have anonymized in accordance with applicable data protection laws. The right to use anonymized data shall be without time or geographical limitation and shall be transferable or sublicensable in any manner, whether currently known or unknown.

3.6 You hereby acknowledge and agree that HealthCode owns all rights and interests in the data that HealthCode has synthesized from anonymized data.

4. LEIA platform

4.1 The LEIA platform offers users the opportunity to refer their health problem to their GP center and find out what may be causing their health problem. The LEIA platform analyzes a user’s health problem compared to academic medical information and an anonymous group of people with similar health problems. LEIA will forward the results of the analysis to your medical center.

4.2 Use of the Arstikeskus.ee website and the LEIA platform is free of charge.

4.3 One user can submit up to 4 different disease related requests at a time. Re-applications can be submitted after any of the previous problems have been resolved by the medical center. If you need to make any further inquiries during this time, you must call the medical center.

4.4. The purpose of the LEIA platform is to facilitate the transfer of health-related information from the patient to the medical center. The LEIA platform does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or prescribe how you should treat identified medical problems. The LEIA platform is not a substitute for medical advice from a doctor, family doctor or other healthcare provider.

4.5. As with any technology, the LEIA platform may fail for a variety of reasons. Faults can also occur outside the LEIA platform (for example, in the Internet connection) and human faults can also occur in the operation of the medical center of your choice. Therefore, you acknowledge that you are aware of such possibilities and undertake to actively contact the medical center yourself in situations where you believe there may have been a failure to provide information or if you have not received feedback within a reasonable time.

4.6. As we do not interfere in the medical process, the LEIA platform is in no way responsible for whether you follow or do not follow the medical advice given to you, or for whether the advice provided was understandable to you. If you did not receive the feedback in time or it was insufficient or incomprehensible, you have a duty to contact the GP clinic again and receive clear and sufficient feedback.

5. Creation of user account

5.1. You can create a user account at LEIA platform by visiting the website arstikeskus.ee. A user account (hereinafter “user account”) is created with your personal identification code. To apply for a care leave certificate , it is necessary to create a user account with the personal identification code of the person being cared for (for example, a child). The current version of Arstikeskus.ee takes into account the situation that some people do not have the opportunity to use an ID card or mobile ID. Therefore, for the security of your personal data, you will not be able to review the data you have entered. A new real-time data viewing solution is under development by HealthCode and will soon be available with additional security measures. For higher security, Auth0, ID card, mobile ID or Smart-ID applications can be used to register a user account.

5.2. A user account cannot be created by persons who does not have a personal identification code.

5.3. The creation of a user account is a binding agreement for the user, which presupposes that the user complies with the terms of use.

5.4 By registering your user account or providing us with other information, you confirm that the information provided to us is correct and complete. If there are any changes to your contact details later, please change these details the next time you enter the LEIA platform. Otherwise, the medical center may not be able to contact you.

 5.5. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and for all activities that occur under your user account. If you suspect that your user account may have been misused (for example, that your account has been used without your knowledge), it is your responsibility to notify us immediately at info@healthcodeai.com.
