Maryna Danylyuk Tovstukha, CEO of Veratech: “The challenge is not to share health data, but to ensure they are understood” | Las Provincias

The article highlights the evolution of Veratech for Health, a pioneering company in semantic health interoperability, into an essential provider in the face of new European regulatory frameworks. Starting as an academic research project, the company organically consolidated its business offerings, focusing on ensuring that health data retain their original clinical meaning as they circulate across different systems. This approach goes beyond mere technical connectivity, ensuring that information is understandable and reliable for subsequent use. The relevance of this work is intensified by the advent of the European Health Data Space and the proliferation of artificial intelligence. European regulations demand real interoperability at a continental scale, something impossible without a robust prior semantic structure. Moreover, AI requires clean and consistent data to train secure models; without this foundation, misinterpretation errors can compromise critical decisions regarding treatments and health policies, transforming a technical issue into an ethical and patient safety concern. For the open data ecosystem, this case illustrates that true data openness lies not only in access but also in semantic quality and the capacity for safe reuse. Veratech’s experience demonstrates that investing in the normalization and contextualization of clinical information is an indispensable requirement for future healthcare innovation. This approach underscores that data infrastructure must be solid, auditable, and centered on clinical value, preventing technical availability from masking informational inconsistencies that limit the real potential of research and healthcare delivery.
