Abstract
E-health is a new reality in healthcare and medicine. It is a field that is starting to find application mainly in developed economies but not only. The complexity of modern systems poses new challenges in the management of information and also requires the development of legislation to safeguard citizens. This article highlights this need in a comparative approach setting Greece as a case study in the European environment. Being an ever-growing sector, it is deemed that this system will play a catalytic role in national economies in the following years. At the same time, this essay provides a presentation of current legislation concerning health data protection in Europe and Greece, presented both individually and comparatively. Finally, it examines if further supplements to the current legislation are needed, aiming for higher health data protection levels concerning millions of people involved, either voluntarily or not, in e-health.
