The submission describes a legitimate EU policy initiative ('The Digital Health Society') but is riddled with red flags indicating a low-quality or spam entry. The description is outdated (referencing 2021 as the future), the traction claims are demonstrably false ('most people have used my product'), and the financial metrics are nonsensical ('all time marketcap'). While the underlying organization has policy relevance, the submission fails to provide credible evidence of product utility or technical innovation.

Description
The Digital Health Society ( DHS) is a movement and a legacy of the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2017. It works with interested EU Presidencies and multi stakeholders to promote digital health policies, services and products and focuses on health data and data management. It has worked on a range of important areas including interoperability, data donation, legal frameworks and digital workforce transformation. Through its annual DHS Summit it has promoted " Connecting Digital Health & Data Initiatives in Europe" and " Acceptance criteria and technical prerequisites for societal trust in the use of health data and the most innovative citizen controlled data sharing governance models". In 2020 it organised with the European Institute for Innovation through Health Data two Round Tables with invited experts to explore in depth issues surrounding health data and the creation of the European Health Data Space. The papers from these Round Tables will be published in February 2021. DHS is a Knowledge Partner in All Policies for a Healthy Europe and Bleddyn Rees is the Chair of the Digital Working Group www.healthyeurope.eu. DHS is also a founding member of the EU Health Coalition www.euhealthcoalition.eu. If you are interested in working with DHS please contact dhs@echalliance.com.
